TUFT PRODS AT SPECIAL iSESSION SENDS HIS MESSAGE ON SPECIAL TARIFF REVISION. In a Brief Communication That Points Out Plainly What the . Executive Wants From This Session, TaR De mands Revision of Tariff Business Interest Await Settlement of Tariff The Less Other Legislation the Better. . Washington, March 16. President Taft today' sent to congress'a special message calling for a readjustment and revision of the tariff. It says: "I called congress In extra session to enable it to give immediate considera tion to the revision of the Dlngley tariff act, and the prospect of a change in the rates on import duties always causes suspension and a halt In busi ness because of the uncertainty as to the changes to be made. Their ef fects, therefore, are of the highest im portance. The new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as Is possibly consistent with Its thorough consideration," The president points out "conditions affecting the production, manufacture and business generally Is so changed In the last 12 years as to require a re adjustment of the revision ' of ' import fltirtes imposed by that act.'- Contlrtu Ing, the message says: ', "More than this, the present tariff act, with other sources of revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorised expenditures. By July 1 the excess of expenses over the re ceipts for the current fiscal year, will equal $100,000,000. The successful party at the last election pledged a revision of the tariff, and the country and the business community especial lv, expect It. For these reasons it Is deemed the present to be an extraor-. dlnary occasion within the meaning of the constitution. Justifying and requir ing the calling of en extra session. In my inaugural address I stated in a which, in my Judgment, the revision of the tariff should proceed and in dicates at least one new source of rev enue which might be properly resort ed to to avoid a future deficit. It is unnecessary for me to repeat what I said then. I venture to stipeest the vital business Interests require atten tion of congress, and thnt this session will b chiefly' devoted to a considera tion of the new tariff bill. The less time given to other subjects for legis lation this session, the better for tho country."
