SENATE BILL TABLED
hH2Se Scares at General Stock Law Much House Business Cousid.
 cred Yesterday.

Little Rock, March ls.~~The senate made great hole In house business shis morning, it being house day. The wheels turned without hindrance dur lug the entire forenoon and q total of about thirty measures were acted upon in various ways.
 The only diversion from special or aecs and house business was a matter of personal privilege by Senator De Aositt. He said that the legislature had voted slo,ooo fer tie relief of the brinkley sufferers, but he thought the senators and attaches should do something personally for the stricken people. He started the ball rolling by authorizing the secretary Of the senate to draw his warrant for ope days pay to be sent to Brinkley, and asked ali to follow suit. A large number of senators asked that their warrants be likewise drawn, but as 1t was house day President Martin asked that ali give their names to the secretary during the day and the list was not con pleted at noon.
 Gam Bill Not Considered.
 Contrary 10 expectation, the Gam statewide prohibition bill, as amend cd by the senate. was not considered in the house today. It was taken Up in the regular course of discussion on senate amendments, but OH mo- tion of Mir. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Little, the bill went over until next Friday for consideration. The unique thing is that both sides of the house seemed to be together on the Ques- tion of postponemcnt, Mir. Jackson being an opponent of the measure and MT Little one of it's strongest supporters. It is intimated that an- other measure may be sprung in the meantime and placed before the house for it's consideration.
 What many consider one of the best bills yet offered in the legislature the senate bill providing for general law for the creation of fencing dis tricts, so as to relieve the general as sembly of the necessity of consider ing so many township matters-was loaded down to the suffocaton point with amendments and proposed amendments and then mcrcifully killed by having the amendments ta bled, thus carrying the bill with them. The bill proposed to leave to th, county court the discretion of calling an election on the question up I petition from 25 per cent of the residents of the district affected. The house seemed very much in fav- or of the measure at first, but the more it deliberated the more uncer- tain it became until it finally lodged the wAoie proposition. , e.@....-'~

TAFT'S MESSAGE SHORT AND SWEET Conditions Make Revision of the Dingley Tariff /
 Imperative.
NEED MORE REVENUE
Suggests That the Less Legislation Of Other Character the Bet.
 ter IL MUl Be.

Washington, Marfa i6,- When the house of representatives met today it was the expectation that the presi- dents message OIL the subject of tariff would be ~nived and also that the bill itself would bc presented by Mr. Payne. chairman of the comlnitt.n on ways and means. So far the terms of the bill have been securely euardeJ and there is much interest n it's pro visions
 The first work. however. to pnoaee tine attention ot the house will be tho drawing of seats, that proceeding hay. ing been postponed from yesterday because O! the discussion in copnec- tion with the amendment of rules.
 The special committee appointed 70 join similar committee of the sen ate to notify the President that both houses are in session and ready for business performed that duty this morning and reported that the Presi- dent advised he would send a com. nnnication in writing probably some time during the day.
 President Taft's Message.
 President Taft's message to con gross today is as follows:
 sentativts:
 Il have convened congress in ths extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration of a re- vision of the Dingley tariff act. Con ditions affecting production, manufac- ture and business generally have so changed in the past twelve years as to require a readjustmcnt and re- vision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this, the pres- ent tariff act, with other sources of governme nt revenue, does not fur nish income enough to pay author ized expenditures. By July 1st next the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal $I00, 0,000,0 900. The successful party in the late elt ction was pledged to re- vision of tariff. The country and bus mess community especially expect it. The prospect of a change in the rates of import duties always causes q sus- pension or halt in business because of uncertainty as to the changes to be made and the effect It. there fore, Is of high importance that new bill be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible, consistent with it's due and thorough considera- tion. For these reasons 1 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 l stated in . summary way tho principles upon which in my judgment revision of tho tariff should proceed and indi- cated at least one new source of rev enue tha, might be properly resorted to in or ter to avoid future deficits. It is not necessary for me to repeat what then said.
 ''I venture to suggest that vital bus mess interests of the country require that the attention of congress at this
 fNnnt{rvQA Do !
