PRESENT INJUSTICE IL CLEAR
~ DEFINED BY HIM IN NEWS
PAPER aRTICLE-WHAT THE
LAW SAYS.

Judge John Hager says in the
Cattlettsburg Tribune SAYS: The
state constitution requires that there
must be 100 representative districts
and 3S senatorial districts. These
must be as nearly equal in popula-
ton as may be without dividing a
county, except where a county will
include more than one district No
part of county shall be added TO an
other county to make district, and
the counties forming a district shall
be contiguous. If in making the
districts inequality of population is
unavoidable any advantage re7ulting
therefrom shall be given to districts
having the largest territory. Not
more than two counties shall be
joined together to form a representa-
tive district. provided in doing so
the principle requiring every district
to be as nearly equal in population
as may be shall not be violated. (Sec.
SO, Constitution
The constitution of 1891 pre-

should so divide the state and in like
manner redistrict the state every ten
years thereafter. The general a.
senbjg redistricted the state by act
of May 5. 1898. In 1906 the legisla-
ture passed another act upon this
subject. This act was declared UNI
constitutional by the court of appeals
in Ragland VS.. Anderson ia Ky,
141. because il did not conform to
the constitution. The result is that
for nearly is years there has been
no valid redistr;cting. Governor
Wilson appointed a nonpartisan
committee to report a plan for re-
districting the state to bee submitted
to the last general assembly. Report
was made TO the governor as TO the
only. The governor transmitted this
report with recommendation that the
plan reported be adopted by a bin
