THE PRESIDENTS TARIFF
MESSAGE.

President Taft's message to
Congress was confined wholly
to the matter of tariff revision,
the document was extremely
brief, the fact that the revenue
required for the support of the
government must be increased
to meet a serious deficiency was
the dominating idea expressed.
The President refers to a sug-
gestion made in his inaugural
address on March 4 and empha-
sizes its Importance. 1t is that
a graduated inheritance tax
should be levied by Congress
upon all money and property
values conveyed, bequeathed
and devised by the will of every
deceased person in the United
States.
President Taft, while urging
economy in the handling sof the
public funds, is strongly inn
pressed with the belief that the
position, the mission. present
and future, of this great Repub-
lie demand large expenditures,
which cannot be cut OF or even
reduced.

one mentioned.
