United States, have an exaggerated idea
about the wealth and magnitude of this
country. They who want to cmigratc 10 the
United States do so because they believe il

arriving in the United States are men and
women ignorant and IN most instances ilht-
crate. They are wholly unable to comprc-
hCnd the meaning of our 30 cent head tuN.
They believe that it is intended as AN nd

circus. They cannot understand that the 30
cents is for the purpose of raising a fund to
IlttI llt cost OF enforcing Inc lmtnlplltlln
laws; they believe that this country is too
rich and generous to tax poor immigrants for
ecOnomy's sake. In short, the head tax. AS
