II
Which, In His Judgment. the Rsvis-
ion Should Proceed.
Washington. March I7.-President
Tafts message pointing out the ne
cessity for a revision OF the tariff was
read In both branches of congress and
met with prolonged applause from the
Republicans The message in fun fol-
lows:
Il have convened the congress in
this extra session in order to enable
IL 70 give immediate consideration to
the revision OF the Dingley tarif act.
Conditions affecting production. manu-
facture and business generally have so
changed in the last twelve years as to
require a readjustment and revision
of the import duties imposed by that
act More than this. the present tariff
act with the other sources OF govern
ment revenue. does not furnish income
enough to pay the authorized expendi-
lures BY July / next the excess Of ex-
penditures over receipts for the cur
rent fiscal year will equal 500. 600. 600.
The successful party in the late
election is pledged to revision OF the
tariff. The country. and the business
community especially. expect II. The
prospect Of a change In the rates OF
import duties always causes a suspen-
sion or halt in business because Of the
uncertainty as to the changes to be
made and their effect. II is. therefore.
OF the highest Importance that the new
bill should be agreed upon and passed
with as much speed as possible. con-
sistent with its due and thorough con
sideration. For these reasons. I have
deemed the present to be an extraor-
binary occasion. within the meaning
OF the constitution. justifying and re-
Quiring the calling OF an extra session.
In my inaugural address. stated
in summary way the principles upon
which. in my judgment. the revision
OF the tariff should proceed. and indi-
Gated at least one new source OF reve-
nue. that might be properly resorted
TO In order to avoid future deficit. II
Is not necessary for me to repeat what
then said
Il venture TO suggest that the vital
business interests OF the country re-
quire that the attention Of the congress
in this session be chiefly devoted TO
the consideration OF the new tarir
bill. and that the less time given to
other subjects OF Legislation in this
session. the better for the country

WHO WANTS A CHANGE?

The municipal contest has been somewhat delayed by the slowness of the democrats in entering the ring But the campaign must begin some time, for it is destined by the city ordinances to end some three weeks hence. The indications are that it will be a perfunctory campaign on the part of our opponents-nothing more than the exercise of the Organi- zation. The citizens of Phoenix ap- pear to be so well satisfied with the years that they cannot be induced 10 make a change.
 We believe a considerable number of democrats feel that way about it, otherwise there would be more en- thusiasm in support of their ticket. That the ticket is not complete and never will be may be taken as evi- dence that the party managers do not believe that an entire change is q show of opposition to the republican candidates for recorder and assessor. There may be a lingering or forlorn hope that some gain will be made in the council but there is not the slightest prospect of its realization.
 A stronger ticket than the republi- can convention named could not have been presented. It is a thorough business mans ticket and in that fact lies it's strength rather than in the party politics of its members. In city affairs, in which all are equally concerned as neighbOrs, the average voter cares very little for the polit- ical complexion Of candidates.
 The business of the city is very much like that of a corporation or firm, and stockholders of business corporations never inquire into or care about the politics of those whom they select for employees or mana gers.
 In municipal matters the majority of voters are almost as non- partisan as they are in school elections; they are for the candidates who they be- lieve will make the best officials or who will be the more likely to per petuate an already prosperous and satisfactory condition of affairs. If any are dissatisfied now they will of course vote for the democratic candidates for mayor and council men-not because they are democrats but because they stand for a change
 We are quite sure that an over whelming majority of the voters of Phoenix are not in favor of a change which would necessarily be an aban- donment of the progressive course on which the city has been travelling for at least four years.

BRADsTREETs AND DUNs.

The weekly reports of the two great commercial agencies of the country are not as gladsome as we might some months ago have expected they they have for months recorded inn provement But any obstinate dull ness which they reflect is not felt by the people at large, but rather by those engaged in the larger com mercial and industrial operations. chiefly of the eastern and middle states. The merchants of the Pa cific coast feel little of it and those of our own territory almost none at all
 We of this particular section of the territory have nothing of which to complain. We are hardly affected by the restraint which in some places still rests on the mining industry. just as we have not always been beneficially affected when mining was at full blast.
 Our merchants are busy, our farm CTS were never so prosperous, with the proceeds of last years crops and the prospects of better ones this year at higher prices. Work is abundant in all lines and money is within the reach of all
 So, we are not greatly interested here in the reports of Bradstreets and Duns which describe conditions with which we are not familiar.
