Washington, Nov oS-The present

most serious and important problems of
the decade, the res spportionment OF the
House of Representatives. Not only
does this question affect the lower house

considered, but it has direct bearing

aside from the academic question as to

give the state legislatures elected this
fall an opportunity to redistrict their
states
There are few statesmen SO disinter-
ee-ed that they would not favor their
frn party in such an operation. and the
result would probably prove disastrous
IN the minority. For this reason the
question will be approached with temer-
itv and il is not at all improbable that
s. solution will be found in an increase

ington. The other districts would be so
manipulated as to give the Democratic
party all the advantage. If such a bill
must pass these New York Republicans
hope that the passing will be postponed
until the 62d Congress, by which time
they hope to control the state Legislat-
ure and TO have the votes to defeat an
Objectionable redistricting measure.
The same view is entertained by Re-
publican members from other states
which have elected Democratic Legisla-
lures Representative Dwight, the Re
publican whip, is bitterly opposed to a
reapportionment bill and he is rapidly
making converts. In his opinion the
ratio of representation should be in
creased to keep the House at its present
size.
There are two sides TO the question,
however. The case OF those states whose
population has not increased in proper
ton to that of the rest Of the country
must be considered If the ratio were
raised it is probable that some of the
cider states would lose Representatives
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
have not kept pace with the remainder Of
the country and might suffer in this
manner The same is true of Missouri
which would lose two Representatives if
the ratio were raised even to two hun
cred thousand TO one.
The first settlement Of the question
7 will be made by the Census committees
OF which Senator La Toilette and Rep
resentative Crumpacker, Of Indiana. re-
speCtvely. are the chair1nen. In order
that members Of Congress may "a amiliar
ize themselves with the question Director
Durand will provide tables showing how
many Representatives each state would
have under any total membership that
may be selected from 391 to 455.
The South will approach the reap
portionment question with timidity be
cause of another problem which promises
some embarrassment. There are a num-
beT Of Southern states in which a large
number of citizens are not permitted to
vote Northern Republicans believe that
full representation should be withheld
from these states so long as they con-
tinue the disfranchisenlent of the negro
