A. J. Turner Presents Schedule
that Undoubtedly be
Adopted.

Madison, Wis, Dee. ESPECIAL i
The legislative apportionment committee
will convene tonight to receive Clerk
Turner'S revised schedule for an APP
portionment of the state into Assembly
and Senate districts, made in accordance
with the view of a majority of the COM
mittee that Assembly districts should be
constructed first without regard to Sen
ate districts, instead of by equaliZing
representation between the two, which
was Mr.. Turner's idea. The committee
had secured legal advice from ex-senator
Spooner that the independent plan was
the correct one, and in accordance with
the request Of the committee Mr.. Spoon
er will submit a written opinion sustain
ing this view when the committee meets
tonight.
1t was expected that the committee
would meet this afternoon, but there was
no quorum. A sufficient number OF
members will, however, be here before
evening. n
Turner's new apportionment of AS
sembly districts gives Dane county but
three members instead of four, and gives
Chippewa county two instead Of one.
This is in accordance with the conten-
ton made by Col L. J. Rusk before the
committee. The new list of senatorial

The number of senatorial districts have

senator will retain the number OF the
district i'm which he was elected
Besides the change in Dane and Chip
newa counties, change is made IN AS
sembly districts by adding Burnett coun-
ty from its union with Bayfield, Wash
burn and Sawyer counties ana making

with a population of 22,OU9, instead OF
making Polk ONE district with popula-
ton of 16,II7, and putting the other
four counties together, with a population
of 1854
The only other changes made in Assem-
bly, districts are i'm transposing the towns
of Ashford and Friendship in Fond du
