A passport may be a convenience sometimes as a means of identification. As such. perhaps. it is worth a small fee. Ten dollars is extortionateand a foolish extortionfor the pitiful fund it brings in is less than a bagatelle to the Government. The passport in this day and generation and in peace time is an anachronism. It should be abolished. If unavoidable. it should be free. If a charge must be made for it. at most it should be nominal. The immigrant is one proposition. The bonafide tourist is another and altogether a different propositionto be encouraged. going and coming. in every reasonable way.
