Names Representation
in the House.
viii be Hard Fight to Retain
its -Four Members.
The State at First Had Eight Rep.
resentaiiyes in Congress.

Washington. d. G.. Jan. 1.-(SpeciaD
The matter of Names representation
in the National House under the next
apportionment is receiving some at
tention from the delegation at the
present time. While the law BY
which the apportionment will be made
is still three or four years away, the
wish that the Pine Tree State shall
lose nothing by reason of the drift of
population westward is as strong as
il was five years ago when Gov. Bur-
leigh Ecgun to organize for the passage
of a law that would still permit the
State to have four members of the
National House.
The situation looks desperate. AZ
ter the census of 1880 the late Repre-
sentative Dinslcy led in IL struggle to
secure for Maine the continuation OF
its four members. The population ot
the State had then fallen behind tho
increases in Western states SO much
that the House leaders were trying tC
allot the State of Maine but three
members. Mr.. Dinglcy and his col

pressed grave doubts whether the
representation of four members could
be continued after the census Of 1900
1t seemed impossible and Gov. Bur
leigh thought he was undertaking an
almost impossible task.
Eut if it was difficult to secure that
legislation after the census of 1900 it
would seem much more difficult to Sc
cure legislation after the census OF
1870 preparations for taking which will
soon begin. II is supposed that the
population of Western states has in
creased relatively much more than
has the population i'll Maine. which
would mean that with the unit of
representation larger than it was in
1900. Congress will refuse to make
Congressional districts sufficiently
small numerically to give Maine four
districts. However, Gov. Eurleigli
will soon ask the Census Bureau to
furnish him with an estimate Of the
population Of tho country by states in

pletlon when once a beginning is made.
Money wherewith to defray the cost
has been provided already, and only
the signal of the city council to begin
the several miles of street paving is
needed. There is nothing that speaks
in louder tones for a city than good
streets and sidewalks. The city council
of Americas has begun to appreciate
this fact and is doing everything posi-
BILE to make Improvements along these
lines. The council cannot do too much
IN this direction, as long as the matter
does not became burdensome to the
people who have to pay the price, and
the people should be willing to stand a
great deal in the way of taxation for
the general good of the city, and Incl
dentally their own good.
