WHY RE0IsTRlcT9
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Inasmuch as the county court is
more nearly (and is in fact) the
representative of the people of the
county than the general assembly,
and as this power is vested in the
county court by the Constitution,
we contend and insist that if the
county is redistricted it should be
done 10y the county court. Yet, in
all probability, a bill will be intro
duced in the general assembly to
redistrict Benton County.
Why, we ask, should this matter
be taken before the general assem-
bly,, and why ignore the county
court? That body is composed of
honorable, high-toned gentlemen;
they are the chosen representatives
of the people, and would not refuse
to comply with the reasonable de-
mands of the people. Then why
ask the general assembly to redis-
trict the county? And, may we
ask, what is the motive?
In the first place it seems to be
rather a humiliating position in
which majority of our people are
placed-to be absolutely ignored
in matter in which all are direct
ly or indirectly interested.
AS to the motive or purpose of
the originators of the redistricting
bill, we do not pretend to say, but
as matter of fact, from the best
information at hand, to redistrict
the county as proposed it would
not only cut off l6 of our magis-
trates, but it would have tend
ency to weaken the Democratic
strength in the county court and
the same would beatrue of some of
the districts.
Not only this, but some of the
newly formed districts would be
entirely out Of proportion and thus
inconvenient for nearly all pur-
poses, which would be serious
matter for the citizens thereof.
AS beginning, the bill proposes
to merge the first, eleventh and
thirteenth districts into one. No
doubt this would please the poll
ticians of the northern end of the
county, but how about the people
Of the other end?
If we must redistrict let.it come
before the county court, and any
of our magistrates could suggest a
plan to redistrict the county more
satisfactory than the one now pro-
posed. But why redistrict?
DEMOCRAT.
