Speech #710258103

In my reading of the bill I notice that under existing law the clerks of State courts are now privileged to receive an allowance from the National Government where the naturalization fees are in excess of $6.000. It is now proposed to eliminate the $6.000 asked and make provision only for those where the fees are in excess of $30.000. Yet there is nothing in the report. no letter from the department. showing the need for eliminating that class. where the fees are under $30.000 and up to $6.000. This bill should not be brought up for consideration without some explanation of why you eliminate the allowance fees of all those clerks of courts where the fees are from $6.000 to $30.000.
