REDISTRICTING MEASURE

lhe new apportionment bill which
IS the work of the joint COMMITTEE of
apportlonmeut in both houses, shifts
the membership toward the western
emo OF the state, the counties of the
eastern part being drawn upon TO
make up the difference for the benefit
OF the western half of the state. The
senate was up to it's full membership
ever since statehood and there was
no other way to get the representa-.
ton Tor the western counties than to
take them from the eastern ones.
nile there is yet room for expan-
sion OF the house so far as constitn-
tlonal limitation is concerned. the
n ouse chamber in the new capitol
places a limitation and keep within
that, in the adjustment, the number
has been reduced one, to a total Of
lo3, in the new bill.

The changes in the senatorial dis
trlcts from those now in existence are:
Hanson and McCook together. at
present Hanson and Miner.
Harding and Perkins, a new dis
trict with one senator.
Lyman, a district with one senator.
Hand and Hyde, a district with one
senator; Hyde now with Hughes and
Sully.
Hughes and Sully senatorial dis
trlct with one senator.
Stanley, district with one senator:
now with Lyman in one district.
Deuel. and Hamlin, one district
with one senator, each now a separate
district.
Trip and Mellette, a new distIict
with one senator.

Faux and Potter.
Corson added to the district of Wal
worth and Edmunds.
Butte and Lawrence joined in one
