MAY Get MORE
CONGR ESSMEN
Illinois Entitled to Increase OF
Four as Result of Count
of Noses.
TO REDISTRICT THE STATE
Question of Chicago's Power in Leg
isIature Also More Serious
Cities Grow Faster.

Under the new census Illinois VIII
gain four members of congress if the
present ratio of representation to pop
uIation is maintained in the apportlon-
ment that will follow the completion
of the count The state now has 70
representatives in the lower house, the
last apportionment having fixed the
ratio at one representative TO 1915
population. The decade before the
basis was 173,301.
There already is a demand that the
ratio be raised in the next apportlon-
ment. in order to prevent so great an
increase in the size of the lower house
as to make it unwieldy. There are
now 39l members. On the other hand,
there will be opposition from states
the representation of which will be re-
duCed below their present strength by
the increase of the basis. The chances,
therefore, are that Illinois will gain
some members. if not all Of the four
10 which it would be entitled under
the present law.
Legislative Problem Serious.
When it comes to the state legisla-
ture the tremendous growth of the cit
les compared with the remainder OF
the commonwealth will bring forward
a grave problem which already has dis
turbed politics to a considerable eX-
tent This is the question OF the pro-
portion of representation to be allowed
ChicaSo in the general assembly. The
CITY under the existing legislative ap-
portionment has 3S per cent OF the
population OF the state and more than
onethird of the members of the assem-
bly,. The census figures given out show
that Chicago now has 43 per cent of
the population.
Under the next apportionment Chi
caco will be entitled 70 nearly half the
members of the state Legislative body
unless in some way its representation
shall be limited. For years there has
been a demand from the country dis
tricts for a limitation of the Chicago
delegation and indications are not
wanting that the fight will break out
anew in the coming session Of the as
sembly.
Several Counties show Loss.
The counties which lost population

Richland, Schuyler, Scott, Shelby,

White, Whiteside. Woodford.
It will be seen from this that the
movement of the population from the
country districts to the large cities is
still in progress in Illinois as else
where. None of the counties in which
the larger cities of the state are situ-
ated lost population, but, on the other
hand. all these have grown in varying
degrees. Nowhere do the figures give
any sign of the turn of the tide of pop
ulation back from the cities to the
