stand for Publicity.
The democrats and eight Of the
nine genuine" republican insur-
gents who voted for the Burleson
resolution, which, had it carried,
would have unseated Speaker Can
non, opposed the amendment to the
corporation tax law on the ground
that If corporations are forced to
make returns on their business, the
reports should be for the public.
The democrats take the position that
the corporation tax bill was not
passed In good faith in the first place
and was but a subterfuge measure
enacted to defeat an income tax law
which would force the wealth of the
country to bear it's fair share of the
burden of taxation.
''To say that you shall have this
corporation tax and all this machln-
cry for getting the information out
of the corporations about what they
are doing, and that nobody shall
have access to the information ex-
cept the president and his advisers,
is a preposterous and a dangerous
proposition" said Minority Leader

Representative Hitchcock of Ne
braska pointed out that 'the great
trust buster of Ohio, Wade Ellis"
had been taken from the prosecution
of corporations and placed in charge
of the campaign in Ohio, where it
would become one of his important
duties to solicit campaign funds. He
also cited other examples of activity
in politics of men who possessed to
formation regarding corporations.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama stated he was against the pub
licity feature of the corporation tax
law, and against the entire measure,
regarding it as counterfeit for an
income tax, which he heartily favor
ed. But" said Mr.. Underwood, eff

'RE.D|STR|CI STATE
Census viii Mean Congressional
RedlStfiCtlng In Michigan
IS ALL UP TO CONGRESS
But the State Legislature Will Draw the New
Lines Where Changes VIII Come

The Grand Rapids Herald is respons-
ibe for the statement that the next
Michigan state legislature will have one
mighty important Job on its hands
which has not been very generally
advertised; namely. the congressional
redistricting of the state.
Every time there is federal census
and congress finds out exactly what the
population of the United States really is
it fixes the ratio which shall obtain in
the apportionment of members of the
lower house. Then, when state finds
itself blessed with the right to a few
or less congressman, it is up TO the state
legislature to do a little gerrymandering
and readjust the lines of the state con-
gressional districts to fit the new situa.
ton.
The last time there was a fedora
census, which was in 1900, congress said
that state should be entitled to one
representative for every 1000 popula-
ton. Everybody knows that the, lelO
census will show a tremendous increase
in the country's population. Everyone
In Michigan knows that this Michigan
growth has not been spread evenly all
over the state, but has been accumulated
in sections. Such being tie case, what
will happen in Michigan
There's a question that is stickler.
When congress finds out what the
census show, it can of course do one
of two things.
First. it can allot additional members
to states entitled to them, using the
present basis of I94, 900 in figuring the
measure. But this would probably in.
crease the total house membership from
S9l, at present, to nearly 40; and this
will scarcely be favored. since the house
membership is already so large that the
body is unwieldy for practical legisla tive
purposes. So, in all human probability.
this won't be done
The alternative is for the house to
raise the basis of allotment so that total
membership will remain about as at
present. This is probably what will
happen. AT least such is the opinion of
no less an authority than John Callan
O'Laughlin, the Chicago Tribune s
Washington correspondent.
