There is But One
Sensible Thing to Do.

Here is the way the case stands !:
The constitution of Florida says there
shall be no more than one hundred
members of the legislature in house
and senate combined. II permits a
newly created county. however, to
increase this number by one repre-
sentative UNTIL THE NEXT AP-
PORTIONMENT.
The same instrument provided that
new apportionment should be made
in 1897 and every ten years there
after. The constitution was ignored
and no reapportionment was made in
1897.
In 1905 the county of St. Lucie was
created. This made the total num-
Der of representatives in the legisla-
ture of 1907 one hundred and one.
This legislature should have provided
for TeappOrtiOnment, as directed by
the constitution. 1t did not do so.
Therefore. either equitably or techni-
eally can the legislature of 1909 be
regarded as constitutional body?
The last named legislature has, so
far. refused to reapportion represen-
tation. On top of this it has added
another county and threatens TO Gre
ate one or two more and thus illegal
ly increase to a still greater extent
the number of representatives VIII
any man with level head say it has
the right to do this?
The Journal admits that it is i'm
possible to Teapportion representation
on any sort of a rational basis under
present constitutional limitations: but
a constitution must either be obeyed
or else amended. The whole matter
is in a middle. The basic law of
Florida is being violated.
There is no way to rectify the
trouble except by calling a conven-
tion to revise this law. If the legis-
lature neglects to do this it may cause
the state and the people of the state
no end of confusion and distress.
