CENSUS FIGURES
AND CONGRESS
Republicans May Oppose Increase in
Membecthip. I
* j
Washington, May 11.?The subject
of cutting down Southern representation
has again come up for con-!
sideration in a quiet way by members j
of congress as the returns from the'
various cities and towns of that sec-;
tion, as census ngures are givmi vui.,;
indicate that several of the states of,
the South will add to their delega-:
tions in the house. f ]
The Southern cities of Augusta,1
Macon, Jacksonville, Columbia, Knox- j
ville, Tenn., and others in the South;
have shown considerable growth;
within the past ten years, and some
of the larger ones, as Atlanta, Bir-j
. mingham and others are still to be ;
heard from as to what they have
done. Enough has been shown, how-;:
ever, to indicate 'that the South will;
increase its number of representa-!
tives in congress, unless the Republi-i
cans hold the balance of power again !
and not only fail to seat new mem-!
hers, but pass a bill to cut .down the |
number already here. This latter j
plan would seem impossible, but it
may not be so. The "fact is, how- J
ever, that the membership of the j
house will probably remain as it now !
is?435 members?admitting no more
by the new census. I
It is predicted that as a result of
the new tabulation there will be many !
new members, the old membership :
numbering 386 before tl\e 'new cen-;
sus increased this to 435.
A day or two ago Champ Clark,
former speaker of the house, askea j
Republican members what they in-1
tended doing aboirt this matter and
said that already the hall of the house
was far too small to accommodate the :
present number, and that if more
were to be admitted it would be necessary
to entirely rearrange the en-;
lire seating and acoustic accommOctaions
for the various members.
Mr. Clark asked the Republicans
point blank what plans they had up j
their sleeves for reducing the number
of members, and if they intended;
to put such a plan in action. Uf
course there was no direct reply for!
very good reasons, but it is known
for instance that if Georgia get 13
members of the house instead of 12,
as at present, or Florida should be
entitled to five instead of four, that
a big howl will go up that that section
already has more members than
she is entitled to send here. j
There is strong probability that

member, and in that case there must
be a redisricting law. passed by the |
respective legislatures. ^ j
It is believed also thai ?ennesses!
ix::d Mississippi, as well as some of
the other states in the South, will increase
their representation in the!
house, provided, of course, that if the j
figures show they are entitled to i
these increases and they knock at

Angered by'the tactics of his landlard
Representative Dominick of
Newberry has carried compiaini,
against the house commission. The
case came up Thursday before the
commission which has lately handed
out some drastic doses to the rent
profiteers. Reresentative Dominick is
demanding that his telephone, which
was taken eut of his apartment, be
restored. He maintains that when he
signed a 12 months lease for his
apartment last October the telephone
was included and the owners of the
house had no right to ramove the
instrument. /-tf

a few months ago the house was sold I

taken out as well as the

system a nickle in the slot machine i
was installed in the lobby. This |
would necessitate the occupant of!
each department going to the lobby
if he wished to make or receive a I

outrage and has taken the matter to]

hand down a decision-in a few days.

"Everyone who bought 1919 stamps

SALVATION ARMY
CAMPAIGN NOW ON^
"The Salvation Army campaign is
on practically^ and will last but a few,
days, consequently it behooves every-j
body to do their duty as soon as pos- j
sible in order that the people of this j
| state may show their appreciation for
j the worthy work of a band of people
j who risked their lives for the comiort.
I of our boys in France, and who are!
S now preparing for an extension of
| its work in times of peace. j
' The Salvation Army did nothing
new in the gpeat World War. Its
army of woiker? only transferred
their activities to a field of battle between
men, for it has been fighting a
battle of vice, poverty, sin'and misery
in our own fair land for fifty years
, and has won many a battle in its
1 work of relieving suffering. It reclaims
yearly thousands of girls who
have cone astrav. There is hardly a
county in the southern states that
does not send men and women out
into the world too weak to fight the
battle of existence and who sooner or
later are helped by the Salvation
army. !
"It makes very little fuss about its
charitable work, but it is constantly
at it and hundreds of thousands of
people can testify to its worth in the
cause of humanity. People of this
state are greatly appreciative of the
wonderful sacrifice that the Salvation
Army workers are constantly making
in order to help suffering mankind,
and while we may be ever io tired of
giving and serving; we cannot afford
to turn a deaf ear to this annual appeal
of the Salvation Army for funds
with which to carry on its worthy
,work for another twelve months.
This is the cause to which every man,
woman and child in this state shoulfl
proudly contribute something." j
