The gentleman is right. Not alone that. but it must be borne in mind. as the chairman of the Immigration Committee well said. that the fees derived from this business will be more than sufficient to maintain this department. but at the same time it is like every other businessyou have got to have some capital to start the ball rolling. If we are going to pass laws and make no appropriation and make the favorite child of this House the eighteenth amendment. we might as well close up shop and let a handful of men control the situation. Why can we not turn around and give respect to other laws which we pass in the Congress of the United States. just as we do the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead Act?
