Some discussion has been had as to
whether the state legislature, at its JAN
nary session, would reapportion the legis-
lative districts, reducing the membership.
Lieutenant Gov. Fletcher advised bill
be introduced to this effect as early as
possible. The constitution provides al
what time reapportienment shall be made
as follows:
Sec 5, article 3. The legislature
shall provide by law for the innumer-
alton OF the inhabitants OF the state in
1896 and every ten years thereafter, and
at it's first regular session after each
enumeration, and also after each emu
meration made by authority Of the United
States, but at no other time, the legis-
lature shall apportion the senators and
representatives"
The first enumeration will be 1880, by
the United States. consequen tlv no reap
portionment will be made until the meet
ing OF the state legislature January 1892.

the benefit to be obtained by ''spring
