WESTERN HEMISPHERE IMMIGRATION 57

Mr. Freming. Not particularly. }
Mr. Jenkins. Don’t you know that the farming sections in the
United States anywhere would be tickled to death if they could get 7
per cent on their outlay of money without expecting a profit in addition
 to that? ’
Mr. FLeminGg. Yessir; I don’t doubt it. However, when one wants
to borrow money in our section, he pays as much as 10 per cent.
The Cuarrman. Thank you very much, and your testimony has
been of value to us.
Mr. Box. I want to submit a statute passed by the Legislature of
Texas, if I can get it, placing a high-license fee on solicitors of labor in
the State of Texas and the opinion of the Supreme Court of Texas
holding that statute invalid.
The CrarrMaN. Without objection it is so ordered.
(Whereupon, at 12.05 o’clock p. m., the committee adjourned to
meet at 10.30 o’clock a. m., Friday, January 24, 1930.)
