Result OF no Apportionment.

As the question has been frequently asked
"what will be the result if the Legislature should
fail to apportion the State into congressional
district p and as the present disagreement of the
two houses indicates that such result is very
likely to occur, we publish for information the
second section of the appOrtionment bill recently
passed by congress, from which it will be seen
that if the Legislature makes apportior-
ment the three members to which Kansas is enti-
tied, can be elected by the State at large:
SECTION 2. That in each State entitle under
this law to more than one representative, the
number to which said States may he entitled in
the forty-third, and each subseqnsnt congress,
shall be elected by districts composed Of conti-
guous territory, and containing rs nearly as
practicable an equal number of inhabitants, and
equal in number to the number of representatives
to which said States may be entitled in congress,
no one district electing more than representa-
tive: Pforidcd, That in the election of represen-
tatives to the forty-thirl congress in any State,
which by this law is given increased number
of representatives, the additional representative
or representatives allowed to such State may be
elected by the State at large, and the other re-
to which the State is entitled by
the districts rs now prescribed by law in said
State, unless the Legislature Of said State shall
other wise provide before the time fixed by law
for the election Of representatives therein.
