That fortune plays strange tricks

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. a.
Shall the new census result in in
creasing the membership of the
house Of representatives, or in re-
ducing the representation of the
eastern states?
This is the question which is now
UP for discussion. 1t will have to
be decided soon after congress
meets In December.
The new census will show an in
crease in population. This in
creased population will require an
increas in the number of congress
men-unless the law is changed as
to the basis of representation.
II the law is not changed the
house of representatives, now con-
tanning 391 members, will be
swelled to a figure not far from
500. Which would make an un-
wieldy body more unwieldy.
The present law gives one repre-
sentative to every 194,1S2 popula-
tion-with some additions for frac-
tons of this number. At each new
census, showing continuously an in
crease Of the population, this figure
has been increased, since the begin
ming of the republic, when there
was representative for every

also, and in spite of the increased
basis Of representation, the size of
the lower house of congress has
grown from a. body originally
smaller than the present senate to
its present. size-nearly four times
that Of the senate.
Every change in the basis of rep
resentation, following every new
count Of the population, has added
to the representation of the west
and subtracted from that of the
east. This for the reason that the
west has grown faster than the
east. New England has gained in
the aggregate Of its population, but
not so rapidly as states like Illinois,
Oklahoma, Colorado, Oregon and
California. The south, too, has
gained, more slowly. Consequently,
the south and east are in a con-
slant struggle against any great
increase in the basis of representa-
ton.
On the basis of the census of
1900, as the apportionment was
first recommended to congress, the
following states would each have
lost representative: Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky Maine, Ne
braska, Ohio, South Carolina and
Virginia.
The following stood to gain one
representative: Illinois, Louisiana,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York
and West Virginia.
Texas gained two representa-
tives.
AS finally worked out there was
compromise which saved several
old states from the threatened cut
