MOWERS FIRST MESSAGE.

There nothing startling in President Hoovers first message to Congress. His recommendations were all in accordance with previous uttearnces He urges agricultural relief through a Farm Board moderate tariff revision, the reorganization along practical lines of the tariff commission the repeal of the National origins clause of the immigration law Congressional reapportionment and the passage of a providing for taking the next year.
 All of the suggested legislation has been prom ised is clearly indicated among the necessities of the times. The notable thing in connection with the message, and it, too, has been indicated by previous Hoover utterances is the moderate tone of the Presidents tariff recommendations. The mes sage makes it plain that MT Hoover does not favor
 free lunch tariff revision where those representing each industry might come in and write their own schedules. This must be regarded as a favorable aspect
 The session that began yesterday will be watched with interest. Upon it's outcome will depend in large measure, the failure of the Hoover Administration.
