Chairman and members of the Committee of the Whole. I feel it my duty in behalf of practicable and good legislation to take the floor in opposition to this amendment. I have the honor to be not only chairman of the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization but a member of the Committee on the Census. and have given a good deal of study to this and other propositions that require detailed information to be taken from the census papers. The plan Cf alien enrollment may be desirable. but it can not be taken in any practicable. worthwhile way by census enumerators. Bear in mind that a census enumeration is one thing and the proposed enrollment of the alien is another.
