WASHINGTON, Sept 8. - The first session of the sixty-fourth congress, which adjourned today, was concerned chiefly with national defense. The appropriations amounted to $1.9OO.. 10000
 When the gavel fell congress had directed reorganization and re-equip- ment of the army and navy for defense of the country at the unprecedented cost of $655, ,0O0, with authoriza- tions that will increase the total in three years to nearly $500, ,000. .OOO.

 Expenditures, necessitated by pre- paredness and the calling into action of the military forces to meet the Mexican emergency demanded reve- nue legislation in the closing days of the session. Congress responded by doubling the normal tax on incomes, creating an inheritance tax, muni- tions tax and miscellaneous excise taxes to raise $205.OOO,O ,O00 and by di- recting sale of $13000O,000 Panama canal bonds.
 Congress established a tariff com mission; a government shipping board to rehabilitate the American merchant marine: a workmen's compensation commission to administer a new uni form compensation law; a farm loan banking system; child labor law, en. lareed the system of self government in the Philippines and enacted many other important laws which had been contemplated by the administration.

It is this: The United States paid Russia the trivial sum of $7,20O,- GOO for Alaska - at the time, the pur- chase price was characterized by many as a fabulous sum for such a barren waste of territory - and now, less than fifty years thereafter in one month, Alaska's shipments of domes- tie merchandise is in excess of the amount originally paid.
