They will have to do it. I want to call attention to a fact which I do not want to have overlooked. Taking out the appropriation for the agricultural census. which is provided for by law and should take place now. which amounts to $3.500.000. and taking out the amount that was added on the floor of the House to take care of the immigration situation on the border in anticipation of the passage of the immigration law. which is $1.200.000. the appropriations contained in this bill for four of tile great departments of the Government are less than the appropriations for those departments for the current year. In other words. with the expansion of the business of the departments that must necessarily go with the growth of the country and the diversity of questions which must come up. we are holding the appropriations for these normal activities with their increases even below the appropriations for time current year. I think that is a pretty good showing.
