As I read the Constitutionand I think you will read it that way. toowe must count all persons. and we have always counted all persons except Indians not taxed or subject to tax. To me it is amazing that the committee could have thought of excluding aliens in this matter. Aliens cause a Congressman more work than others. for they have more complications with their relatives and families. especially in general immigration matters. I have some aliens in my section. old people now. of a higher type even perhaps than their children whom we have educated. Many of them pay large taxes but never have learned to read and write and at this late date will not learn to read and write. Yet they are good citizens. Some State laws regarding citizenship are severe. however. When they go to the naturalization court the judge asks them rather difficult questions and. of course. they are required .to read and write.. So I am deprived. if you please. of saying what I might have said if I thought there was the slightest chance of this alien clause remaining in the bill. You say anybody ought to be able to read and write.
