Inc complete census totals for the
country show that if the present con-
gresslonal apportionment is held To
there will be fifty-nine additional rep
resentatives, making the total member
ship in the House 45O. The present
membership is 39I.
1he additional representation in Cor
gress would be distributed as follows.
Alabama, l; California, 4; Colorado,
l; Connecticut, l; Florida, /; Georgia

lt IS not likely that the present ar
portonment will stand, however. as II
would make the House too unwieldlv
It is now thought the basis of represen-
tation will be 22O, 900 instead of 1874 OtO
as at present, but even at 22O, 900 would
mean membership in the House of
4l8. an increase of &c members.
If the basis of representation is raised
Virginia will not gain another Congress-
man, but will remain, as at present. at
ten.
Virginia made another drop in the
relative rank of States. In 1890 she
stood fifteenth, in 1900 seventeenth and
this year stands twentieth in the order
of population of the states.
