COLORADO MAY GAIN
ANOTHER CONGRESSMAN

from lueSuay DAILY.
Denver. Aug. 3O.-While census re-
ports thus far received Indicate that
Colorado will be given another con-
gresham in the reapportionment by
the national congress next winter, this
can not be definitely determined until
congress decides upon the basis of
representation. It is expected that
the bill redistricting the United States
will provide a greater population re-
quirement for congressional repre-
sentation than now existes. Such ac-
ton will be taken TO prevent anw ma
terial increase in the number of mem
bers of the lower house. Whether
this Increased requirement will be suf-
ficiently large to prevent Colorado
from gaining an additional congress-
man can not be determined until the
basis of representation has been fixed.

The Denver News didn't make any
friends among members OF the Colo
RADIO State Editorial association by
running a couple of stories to the eff
feet that an attempt was made or was
to be made in the meeting at Buena
Vista last week to introduce resolu-
tions condemning the course of Cover
nor Shafroth in calling the extra ses-
sion of the legislature. 1t was stated
that Former Senator Frank A. Moore,
president of the organization. has pre-
pared such a resolution and would at
tempt to have it adopted by the as
sociation. The fact is the State Edi-
torial association is nonpartisan, and
anything pertaining to politics is
strictly tabooed at any of its meetings.
This fact was we'll known to Some of
the men high in authority on the News
which adds to the magnitude of the
offense.-Golden Transcript.
