REAPPoRT1oNMENT
COMING IN DAKOTA

Pierre s. D., Oct 22-From territor

legislative strength in both houses on

us shown on basis of school popula-
tion, which are further backed by the
returns of the state census of 1905, as
compared with the census returns of
1900, there will be q shifting of repre-
sentatives in the near future.
AS the constitution limits the men,
bership of the house to 135, and that

To get their share of representation
based upon population must make in
ROADS upon the older counties.
The next apportionment under the
constitution will be at the session of
1911, following the census of 1910. From
that time on there will be several saw
age fights before an adjustment is
made to change the conditions to give
the newer sections what they are en-
titled to.
