Speech #720035806

That does not apply alone to cattle. but it applies as well to animal life and to human life. The State of New York at the present time has on file a bill of a similar character. which they propose to introduce into Congress immediately upon the passage of any legislation of this character. It calls for over $60.000.000 for the failure of the agents of the Government in properly quarantining immigrants who have become a charge and have been a charge on the State of New York. My own State of Massachusetts can offer a similar bill. which will amount in the end to about $30.000.000. I suppose that objection to this bill will be considered as a reflection upon the courts.
