THE APPoRrroNMGNr The Washing

says:
"Ihe Presidents message on the sub.
ject.of the apportionment shows that il
cannot be made. uuless Congress resort
to remedial legislation. Many Of the
State legislatures now in session are dc.
sirous of being officially notified of the
number OF presentatives TO which they
are entitled, in order to district their
respective States. 1t will be too late for
many Of the legislatures to act on the
subject this year, unless the official APP
porlinnment be considered very snou.-
The Secretary of the Interior cannot
compy with the law aud mike the ap
porionment, unless the returns of Cali
fnrnia be completed ard it may be long
time befure those returns be received.
The remedial Legislation" referred to
must be tho assumption of cettaiu
number Of inhabitants for California, say
100000. which would give her two rep.
resentalives. California would be con

Interior could then make the 0pporlion

new apportioument, instead of that
which was made under the census OF
1910"

Legislature OF this State, but il will de
