The Burnett Immigration Bill

The Burnett immigration Bill
with its literacy test is now before
the Senate Committee by whom it
will, undoubtedly, be favorably re-
ported. It will then go up for con-
sideration in the Senate. Whether
it will be passed or not cannot
be forecast with any degree of
accuracy. It is reported that, if
it passes the Senate, President
Wilson will veto it on account of
the literacy test. In this he will
be following in the footsteps of
Presidents Cleveland and Taft.
