NEW APP0RTIONMENT



washington. Nov. 14.-Director of the
Census Merriam has called the atten-
ton Of the president to the fact that the
figures on the population of the United
States, the total of which had already
been announced, are in such shape that
they will be at the disposal of congress
when it meets for any action 1t may de-
sire to take in the direction of a re-
appOrtiOnment bill The reappOrtion-
ment following the count of the twelfth
census viii become operative by law in
1903.
increase both in the ratio and total
number of representatives under the new
apporti0nment. Starting with a ratio
of one to every $4,000 inhabitants there
were IS representative in the First con-
gresS- The eleventh census in 1890 gave
a population of 81, 622, $50. The ratio was
173,90i people to each representative and
the house numbered 356 members. The
ratio under the new census probably
will reach 100000. With an Increase of
13, AGA shown by the present census
and letting majority fractions of the
apportlonment count for an additional
member as has been the custom. this
would make an addition Of is members
in the next house. Reapportionment on
this basis would cause only four states
to lose Representatives. They are Maine
and Virginia in the east and Kansas
and Nebraska in the west These states
would lose a member each. Any ratio
smaller than 100000 which would save
them their full representation would
cause a considerable addition to the
membership of the house.
