WEST AND SOUTH 1
MAY GAIN SEATS
CENSUS FIGURES TO FIX SIZE
OF CONGRESS
i
Opposition Has Been Frequently
Expressed to House Being
Made Larger.
i
.
Washington, Oct. 9 (By the Associated
Press).?Examination of the
final census figures of the country
v which place the total population of
the continental United States at
105,685,108, indicates that the West
and the South proportionately will
gain more in a political way than the
East or Middle West through increased
membership in the house of
representatives, more votes in the
electoral college and in larger delegations
to the national political conventions.
This result will obtain whatever
basis of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter, fixing the size
of the next'house, which, in turn, is
reflected in the electoral college and
the conventions of the big political
parties.
* i"? 1 O
AS a result 01 tne increase ui io,)t
710,842 in population during the
past ten years, 50 new seats must
be added to the house to prevent any
state from losing any part of its
present representation. Should . the
present membership of 435 be left
unchanged by increasing the basis of
apportionment, there will have to be
a transfer of 13 seats, now held by
12 states, to nine other states.
For the past half a century the
precedent has 'been to increase thej
size of the house so as to prevent loss:
of existing representation by any
state. As a result, the house has)
grown from 243 . to 435 members,
with only three states?Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont?losing one
Jpember each in the last 50 years.
If this precedent is followed this
year, five additional representatives
seats must be given to California,
four each for New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Michigan, three to Illinois
and Texas, two to Massachusetts,
New Jersey and North Caro"
T- A- A 1-1 Aw*
una, ana one ea.cn to Aiauama, axizona,
Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland,
Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
Virginia, Arkansas and Minnesota.
While the present basis of appor-1
tionment is 211,877 inhabitants or
its major fraction to the congressional
district, congress can increase
the basis to 219,427 without causing
any loss. To advance beyond the
latter figure will mean that Maine
? would lose one seat, while Montana
would fail to gain one, with the
net result of 48 new seats in con
gress.
Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house as they regard the present
membership of 435 as too unwiedly,
when the house census committee,
headed by Representative Siegel of
New York, begins consideration of
the problem, effort will be made to*
hold down the increase. But pressure
for- the increase is expected to
come from the states which would
benefit from a large house.
Only once?in 1840?has the size
<vf Kniico ViPon rA^iirpd. At one
other time, just before the Confed-j
erate war, the apportionment wasi
held down, with the resulting loss of,
seats falling most heavily on the j
Southern states.
By holding the ho^lse membership!
to 435, gains would1 be distributed j
with three to California, two to!
Michigan and Ohio, and one each to j
Connecticut, New Jersey, North Car- ;
olina, Oklahoma, Texas and Wash-,
ington.. To offset these gains Missouri
would be forced to lose two
congressmen, while Indiana, Iowa,!
Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maine |
Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Virginia would lose one!
each. All other states would retain j
their present numerical delegations-J
- ill cungieaa. i
At the last session of congress
some Republican leaders expressed
opposition to any change in the house
that would be of profit to the South. I
However, the new census does not indicate
that the South can be affected
without a corresponding effect on
states where the Republicans might
not be inclined to reduce the delegations.
By fixing the apportionment basis
so that Maine and Missouri would
each lose one seat, the increased
population of the country as represented
in congress can be absorbed
by a net increase of 27 seats. The
apportionment basis then would be
219,583, or major fraction, and 17
states would absorb the net increase
as also the two seats lost by Maine
and Missouri. These gains would be
distributed with California getting
four; Michigan, Ohio and New York
? three; Pennsylvania, New Jersey ana
Texas two, and Arkansas, Connecticut,
Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts,
New Mexico. North Carolina,

JERSEY WOMAN, 103, EXPECTS
TO VOTE THIS FALL FOR
FIRST TIME. (
For the first time, although she c
was 103 years old June 23, Mrs. ^
Samuel Barron of Woodbridge, N. J., ^
expects to vote this fall. Also voting A
for the first time will be her daugh- j
ter, aged 80, her granddaughter and ?
her great grandson.
I c
J Oklahoma, Washington and Wiscon- ?
| sin, one each. ?
By eliminating Wisconsin from the 1
states gaining one seat, and by add- 1
ing Iowa to those losing one, the ap- I
portionment basis might" be placed at 1
230,096, or major fraction, and this
would give a net increase of 23 in '
the house membership. i
Tj. J _ _: J ? J 1,^1 J 4-l,? ,
it may ue. ueciucu iu uuiu vuc a^v j c
increase to less than a score, which j
might be accomplished by causing
'Missouri to lose two seats and Iowa, y
Kentucky, Maine and Indiana, one |
each. t
The apportionment basis would be
234,947 inhabitants to the congres- ]
jSional district with a net increase of (
114 in the size of the house. These <
! seats and- those lost by Missouri, ?
j Iowa, Kentucky, Maine' and Indiana, j
would be distributed as follows: California,
four; Michigan and Ohio, j
three; Texas, two, and Connecticut, j
Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania "
and Washington, one each. }
Regardless of the apportionment
j basis, the swing in political power .
will be first toward the Pacific coast 1
; and the Rocky Mountain states, fol- <
(lowed by the South, the East and. the j ]
i Middle West. California's big gain ; j
j in inhabitants m tne las- ten years 1
I accounts' for most of the swing to- t
,ward the coast.
While the census showed for. the j
first time in the history of the coun- .
try that the farm to city movement ]
of population has resulted in the last
ten years .in the cities gaining the
majority of population, the increase ]
of strictly city members in congress j
probably will net be great. Confined (
strictly to the city boundaries, only
I four big centers of population?
[New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and ?
Detroit?seemed entitled to more r
I
members in the house than at present.
. (
The problem of individual districts, j
however, is not one with which congress
concerns itself. The congres- '
! sional apportionment is made by
i states and, when completed, the fight
j over the district boundaries within I
! a state is shifted to the state legislatures.
There, it is expected, will
come the controversy between the
| city and the rural districts for con- '
trol of house seats.
