sorry but it only goes up to 2007.  

200 million from 1905 would be the same as 4.56 billion in 2007

the government calculators only go back to 1913 but you can multiply the 2007 figure by 4%  to get the 2008 figure.  (Sorry, the government calculator wouldn't go allow a figure bigger than 10 million to be entered.)  The link below shows that the current annual rate of inflation is 4%.

4.56 billion in 2007 is equal to  4.7424 billion in 2008.
