Mr. Husband. for the last fiscal year you will find that there is a surplus as a result of the fees and moneys taken in by the Immmigration Service of over $1.000.000. You will further find that this Bureau of Immigration of all our departments throughout our executive system is the only department that more than pays for itself. In other words. the Immigration Service takes in more than it pays out for its en.tire personnel and entire maintenance and operation. I can therefore see no earthly reason why you should in any way increase the fee for passports or certificates. I believe you thus are placing on the immigrant who comes over here. and who is worthy. an undue burden. because we now have a surplus. and not a deficit. What we should do Is to enact some legislation whereby that surplus may be taken" out of the general fund in the Treasury and applied to the Immigration Service. It is not fair to place an increased burden on the immigrant.
