session qf the Sixty-fourth congress,
which adjourns today, was concerned
chiefly with national defense.
When the gavel fell congress had
directed reorganization and equip

doubling the normal tax on incomes,
creating an inheritance tax, munitions
tax and miscellaneous excise taxes to
raise $205,000,000 and by directing sale
of $130,000,000 Panama canal bonds.

a new uniform compensation law;. a
farm loan banking system; a child
labor law; enlarged the system of
self-government- in the -Philippines
and enacted many other important
laws which had been contemplated
by the administration.

out by frequently recurring threats of
foreign complications from the
European war and imminence at one

mails land commerce, ' invasion of
American soil and killing by Mexi
can bandits, and danger of actual war

senate by vote of 68 to 14 on March
3,. and of the McLemore resolution
