Ignoring the Constitution.
nnaA AInkniiinnaaor

The Legislature, at its present ses.
session is evidencing strange indiffer-
ence to the provisions OF the Constitu-
ton. The Senate killed the anti.pass
bill, in direct violation of the manda.
tory provisions OF the State constitu-
ton, while other provisions OF the
same instrument have been ignored by
inaction.
For example, there is the manda-
tory provision OF the State constitu-
ton. Article H., section 3, which pro-
vides that the Legislature shall make
provision for a State census this year,
and that there shall be reapportion.
ment of both houses of the Legislature
on the basis OF that census. So calm.
ly and completely is this mandatory
provision of the supreme law OF the
State ignored by Legislators sworn to
uphold it, that the matter has never
been seriously discussed.
The same indifference is displayed
to the federal statutes requiring the
dividing OF the State into Congressional
districts. The federal law on the sub.
ject is mandatory and its provisions
were carefully drafted for the express
purpose OF preventing the practice Of
gerrymandering." Yet this State
presents the worst case of gerryman-
dering in the Union. The Legislature
refuses to district the State and the
people here continue to elect all three
OF their Congressmen.at-large. If this
were q State wherein the political
parties were of a substantial equality,
the minority would be deprived OF .
chance to carry any one of the Con-
gressional districts. As it is, the re.
fusal to obey the federal law on the
subject endangers the representation
of the State in Congress. Congress
would be acting entirely within it's
rights and its powers if it refused to
seat any one of the three Congressman
Of this State, on the ground OF the in-
solent disregard by the Legislature of
this State of the plain provisions of
the federal statutes. This, however,
would be apparently matter of serene
indifference to the majority OF the
members OF the Legislature.
