Campaign For 1909 Crop.

1t cannot be definitely ascertained
now but it is generally understood,
that at this meeting some steps viii
be taken towards perfecting the pre-
urinary arrangements for conduct
ing the campaign for the pooling Of
the 1909 crop. This matter was
brought mp ut the last meeting Of the
Board which was held in January,
and several plans on which to conduct
the pooling of the crop for the pres
emf year were submitted but nothing
definite was done and further action
on it was deferred until some later
meeting. As this will be the last time
the Board will be in session until some
time late in the summer. and III order
to get an early start at canvassing,
the district it is more than likely that
some plan will be formulated at this
meeting.

EXPENSES OF GOVERNMENT EXCEED
INCOME OVER HUNDRED MILLION
President Taft Sends Short Message To Congress On Tariff Revision
And Urges Haste In Taking Action
Special to The News.

Special to The News.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Pres-
ident Taft in a short message urges
Congress to give immediate consid-
Grafton to tariff revision. He states
that business conditions have so
changed in the last twelve years as to
require the REIMBURSEMENT of import
ant duties.
The present tariff does not furnish
income enough to pay the govern
ment expenditures. BY July the first,
the expenses will exceed the receipts
for the fiscal year more than one hun
bred million dollars.
The prospect OF revision always
causes a halt in business, therefore
it Is of the highest Importance that
the new bill should be passed as
speedily as possible. He suggests
that the present session shall be de-
voted chiefly to the consideration OF
the tariff question.
WASHINGTON, ID. c. March 16-
President Taft last evening had al
most completed his message to Con-
gress upon the subject of the tariff.
He kept at the task upon which he
was engaged until the small hours of
the morning, and he saw as few
callers as possible.
The monotony of a dull day at the
White House was broken by the re-
ceipt Of bulletins of the lively pro-
ceedings on Capitol Hill, and from
the State Department, giving the de-
tails Of the progress OF the negotia-
tons for the settlement of the Cen
trail American imbrooliO.

Detroits led off with a base hit, and
