TAFT'S MESSAGE
BRIEF AND PLAIN
Does Not Waste Time in Attempt
to Present Statement Of the
Needs Of the Country.
Asks That Statesmen Get Busy With
the Tariff, Declaring Business In
terests Demand That Work Of
Revision be Done With
out Delay.

Washington. President Taft's
message to congress, presented on
Tuesday. is brief and to the point
The message follows;
ITO the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives:
Il have convened the congress In
this extra session in order to enable
1t to give immediate consideration OF
the revision of the Dingley tariff
act. Conditions Affecting production,
manufacture and business generally,
have been so changed In the last
twelve years as to require a readjust-
ment and revision of, the import du-
ties imposed by that act. More than
this. the present tariff act, with the
other sources of government revenue,
does not furnish income enough to
pay the authorized expenditures BY
July 1. next, the excess OF expenses
over receipts for the current fiscal
year. Will equal 100000, 900.
The successful party In the late
election Is pledged to revision OF
the tariff. The country and the bust
ness community generally expect It,
The prospect OF change In the rates
OF import duties always causes sus
pension or halt In business, because
OF the uncertainty as to the conditions
to be made and their effect
1T is therefore of the highest i'm.
portance that the new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as much
speed as possible. consistent with It's
duty and thorough consideration. For
these reasons, have deemed the
present to be an extraordinary oc-
casion within the meaning OF the
constitution, justifying and requiring
the calling OF an extra session.
In my inaugural address, stated
in summary way. the principles
upon which in my judgment. the re-
vision OF the tariff should proceed,
and indicated at least one new source
of revenue that might be properly re-
|eorted to in order to avoid future
deficity. 1t is not necessary for me to
repeat what | then said
II venture to suggest that the vital
business interests OF the country re-
quire that the attention OF the con-
gress In this session be chiefly devot-
ed to the consideration OF the new
tariff bill and that the less time given
to other subjects OF legislation in this
session, the better for the country
