Population and Legislatures.

Connecticut Is having a constitu
tional convention to wrestlc with ,ha
problem of the makeup of the iegis!a-
ture. The present system is sur
vival of the old times and as il gives
every town n member, regardless of
population or Importance, there is Il
demand fer q change. The small
towns. however. are very jealous of
their ancient privileges and will ret
easily give up the unequal power they
bow possess. The outcome of the
struggle will be- watched with much
interest. In connection with It's dis
cussion of the matter the Hartford
cturant has prepared table showing
the makeup of the legislative bodies OF
the various states Of the Union. and
giving the ratio of membership to t5tal

From this it will be seen that the
