deficit cannot be overcome this year or next

and the deficit, compared with the monthly

every month, and ut rate which gives fair
promise that receipts will rise above current

sions OF the bill as submitted to the President
NAV turn out 70 be, an educational test is the
groundwork Of The proposed legislation, and is
to determine hereafter whether an immigrant
shall be permitted 10 land or not There are
some exceptions, to be sure, in favor Of certain
aged relatives Of American citizens. but they
do not materially affect the proposition that the

working in the mines OF Penrsylvania, or clear
