The 1899 measure is the soundest. the healthiest. the fairest. and the best. I hope you will write to your Senators and Congressmen and tell them so." I respectfully call the attention of tile committee to the constitutional features of tIe " nationalorigin " method. Congress has no doubt the power to adopt any arbitrary quota it may see fit and has the power to delegate to some commission or executive officers the power to determine the immigration quota of each country from facts and figures that inny be established before such commission or officers. but when Congress attempts to confer upon a commission or executive officer of the Government the power to fix arbitrarily the quota for each country. has not Congress exceeded its powers in delegating to such board or officers a part of its legislative functions? Senator REED. There is a bigger question even than the Senator suggests. and that is that Congress and every Member of Congress wants to be fair.
