fBy Associated Press.)

Columbia, 5. O., Mar, 20-~Presldelll
Taft. according to present plans, will
ccnfne his message to the extra ses
sion Of congress to Canadian reel
piocity and to the establishment Of a
permanent tariff board
He is convinced the country de-
sires or is thought to desire further
revision of several schedules of the
Payne-Aldrich act He feels the wool
en- schedule indefensible, It is said
snd is anxious II shall be revised
soon.
The president Is equally convinced
that the country desires that reyi-
sions of the tariff be made in the
light OF scientific info wuation which
II ID the duty Of the tariff board to
collect
Il Is said he rather lnclines to the
idea that no schedule should be re-
vised upon which the thrift boarl is
not ready with It's information.
He has directed the temporary tar
III board TO make report on the
wooden schedule by December /. Per-
sonally be would like for congress to
wait until that time and not attempt
to revise any schedule at the extra
session.
II Mr. Taft's wishes are met, the
extra session will devote Itself 70
reciprocity first, the government tar
if board second, postponing the re-
vision OF the textile schedules I'M
I'll the tariff board completes It's
work December /.
In addition to the presidents In
structions that the woolen schedule
shall be ready the appropriation bill,
carrying fund for the tariff board,
contains provision to that effect.
This does away with the possibility
OF delay. he believes
President Taft frankly expects the
Democratic house and the nearly
Democratic senate OF the Slxty-sec-
ond congress to help him carry out
program OF scientific revision OF
the tariff
He hopes another year will mark
great progress. He Is especially anx-
ious thar the revision shall be In
accordance with his policy of lifting
the tariff as far as possible out of the
realm of politics aud placing 1t upon
q scientific basis.
Just how the Democratic leaders
will receive proposition to post
pone action on tariff revision until
next December, remains to be seen.
Several leaders have already indicat.
ed that at least two or three sched-
ules of the Payne-Aldrich law will be
acted upon during the extra session.
President Taft has said he believed
IL would BE illogical, unwise and un-
just to the business interests If a
general tariff revision should be un.
dertaken.
How important the president re-
garls permanent tariff board was
made evident after congress adjourn
ed when he placed on the present
board the very men Mr.. Howard and
Professor Page, whom he intended to
place on the permanent tariff commits,
sion with Messrs. Emery, Sanders and
Reynolds. All that is now required
is to secure for the board perma-
nent status.
Under the direction of Mr. Emery
the beard alrealy is engaged In a
careful analysis or the textile sched-
ule.
The president is said to be greatly
encouraged by the steady progress
and development of his tariff program
which he laid down four years ago
in his speech at Bath, Maine. The
Payne-Aldrich law, the tariff board,
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
he regards as milestones of progress.
