CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS
Congre ssman Martin Suggests PIar
For RedistrictinE


Pierce Congressman e. w. Mar
tin expressed his views concerning
the realignment of congressional dis
tricts in South Dakota in a letter to a
friend in this city as follows:
II would suggest that the state d.
vide itself naturally into three dis
tricts by making all the territory west
Of the Missouri river into one district:
all north of the north line OF 3 ffalo
Jerauld, Sanborn, Minner, Lake and
Moody counties into another. and the
southeastern portion, including all
south of the line referred to into a
third. Doubtless in numbering the
districts the order would naturally be
reversed in recognition of the oder
portions Of the state.
1t'This sort Of division would meet
the requirements of the law. which
provides that each district shall on
tain as nearly as practicable an equal
number of inhabitants. (See Act OF
January 16, 1901. Vol. 2, Supplement
of the Revised Statues of the U. S,
Chapter SO, at Page 1850 Each OF
these districts east OF the river would
contain a larger population now than
the western half of the state, but the
western half is growing much ere
rapidly than either of the other, and
it would be only a matter of two or
three years until the western halt
would contain as much or larger popu-
lation than either CT the other two
districts.
You will observe that the popnla-
ton of the state at the present time
is $50, 1888. The population in 1900
was 4O1, $40. an increase of 49,, 31S. or
45.4 per cent. The population east OF
the river in 1900 was 345,760, The
population east of the river at the
present time is 442,2?2. an increase OF
1852, or an increase Of rs per cent.
The population west of he river in
1900 was $3.50. The present popnla-
ton west of the river is 140,616, an in
crease Of 8 ,8O6, or an inCrease west
of the river in 10 years Of ISL per cent.
AS you are aware, most of this in
crease has taken place in the last
three years, and it is fair to assume
that something Of the same sort VIII
continue during the next three years
or more" rg
