Why is p-toluidine more basic than m-toluidine?

In p-toluidine you are not actually considering the hyper conjugating structures due to which the compound becomes more basic than m-toluidine which only has it's +I effect and I would like to suggest you that as far as I know resonance effect "usually" overpowers the other effect!
