As long as I remain in the Senate I shall oppose collecting any income tax from men of small income. No marred man should pay an income tax until his income amounts to $5.000 a year. As amember of the Immigration Committee I have supported efforts to stopt all immigration for five years. The American Legion indorsed that policy. and after my resolution to that effect was defeated. I proposed the amendment to the present law to extend the 3 per cent quota restriction law until June 30. 1924. pending the enactment of permanent restrictive measures. The [louse passed the bill extending the law only until 1923. when Congress would not be in session. and the steamship companies would have brought over millions before another law could be enacted. but ny amendment prevented this. The Committee on Territories handles all legislation affecting our insular possessions. and in order that I might have information at the source. at my own expense I visited Hawaii and the Philippines.
