Tho New Congressional Apportionment
tn West virginia.

Tho New Congressional AppoFtionment
IN west virginia.
The bill Of Congressman Cox, chairman
bl tue Census Apportionment Committee,
provides for 3Ol members Of the next
House Of Representatives, on tho basis Of
one representative for every 1O4,0lS popu'
lstion. This would give West Virginia
three congressman, with a remainder of
population Of 100, ,2So, which remainder
would entitle her under the distribution
Hurpluses to the States having the largest
remainders, to All additional representa-
tive. This being the case, 1t will be neces.
sary, II Mr.. Coz's apportionment be.
Ccomes a law, for the legislature
to readjust the Congressional districts
OF the State, creating four instead
Of three dlstricts ns at present. Some
persons are Under tho impression that the
districts might remain as at present con.
stituted, and congressman at large elect
ed by the whole State. This Ia a mistake.
II was provided In the act Of Congress Of
1919 that in the elections held Under the
first apportionment Of the Census OF 1870
that congressman at large might be
elected to the succeeding (43d) Congress,
but 1t applied to that Congress alone.
Hence all Congressman, Unless another
similar act is passed, must represent Con.
gtsssional districts, and this will cali for
reconstruction of our three, West Virginia
districts.
Congressional districts must, be con.
HtruCted out Of contiguous territory, and
must contain rs nearly as possible equal
populations. II we divide the population
Of West Virginia into four divisions IL will
give l64b4s population TO each Of the four
disttiC's This number falls about 10000
short OF the number required for q repre-.
sentative, hut under the fractional allow.
anCe to us, recessiIaLing four districts, IL
is the nearest approximate we can make.
The problem that will probably cone
before our Legislature before II adiourns
ia az to how the State can be divided into
satisfactory Congressional Districts. We
suggest to the able Statesmen Of the two
Houses that they can ptoatably employ
some Of their leisure time In incubating a
scheme OF division, so that when the bill
passes Congress they will be ready at once
to enter upon the iotmallty Of putting
their matured views into practical shape.
We suppose that oae Of the objects to
be kept steadily in view will be 10 cut up
