OPENING OF CONGRESS
VITAL INTERESTS OF COUNTRY
DEMAND THAT SESSION BE
DEVOTED TO TARIFF BILL.

Washington.-In a brief and plain
ly-worded message to Congress Tues
day, President Taft told why he had
called the extra session, and urged
that its object. the revision OF the tar
if, be accomplished as speedily as pos
sible
He suggested that In view of the un-
certainty in business circles over the
matter. the Congress devote its atten-
tion TO the work of revision and do as
little as possible in The way OF other
legislation, for the good of the coun-
try"
The reading of the message was the
chief business before the Senate The
message received careful attention and
the Senate adjourned TO Friday
When the message was read in the
House the Republicans broke out into
loud and prolonged applause The
message was referred TO the commit
tee on ways and means.
Following Is President Taft's Message.
ITO the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives: have convened this Con
gress in this extra session in order
to enable it to give immediate consid-
Grafton of the revision OF the Dingley
tariff act Conditions affecting prodnc-
tion manufacture and business gener
ally have SO changed in the last twelve
years as to require a REIMBURSEMENT of
and revision OF the import duties i'm
posed by that act. More than this, the
present tariff act, with the other
NF
not furnish income enough TO pay the
authorized expenditures. BY July lst
next, the excess OF expenses over re-
ceipts for the current fiscal year will
euqal $1O0.00O.OOO.
THE successful party in the late
election is pledged TO a revision of the
tariff. The country and the business
community especially expect it. The
prospect of change in the rates of
import duties always causes suspen-
sion or halt in business because of the
uncertainty as to the conditions to be
met and their effect. 1t 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. have
deemed the present to be an extra
ordinary occasion within the meaning
of the constitution justifying and re-
quiring the calling of an extra session.
I'm my inaugural address l stated
in a 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. 1t
is not necessary for me to repeat what
l then said.
Il 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 de-
voted 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"
