publican State Committee, has been or

BILL PROVIDES FOR
SENATE DISTRICTS
TENTATIVE MEASURE MAKES A
CHANGE IN REAFPORTiON-
MENT IN UPPER HOUSE.
OZAUkEE WITH milwaukee
Another Measure Introduced in the
House Will Give Milwaukee Eigh-
teen embIYmen- Dividing Lines
Different.

Madison.-The senate committee
On apportionment has drafted a ten
tatiYe bill for the apportionment of
the state into thirty-three senatorial
districts. One of the most important
changes proposed is to include OZau-
kee county with Milwaukee county,
and give it six senatorial districts.
At present Milwaukee county has FIVE
districts and Ozaukee county is at
tached to Sheboygan county as one
district
Another important change is
throwing Oconto over into the Mar
inette district and Door over to the
Brown district. Manitowoc and Ke-
Waunee are to make a district, She
boygan and Calumet another; Rock
and WalWorth another as at present;
Kenosha and Racine are to constitute
one district and Green, Lafayette
and Iowa another; Pepin and Buffalo
are to be added to st. Croix and
Pierce; Rusk will be dropped from
the Chippewa Eau Claire district,
and added to the Dunn Barron dis
trict. The Ashland district is to in
clude Ashland, Bayfield,, Sawyer,
Price and Iron; Waukesha to be
thrown in with Jefferson and Wash
ington, with Dodge; Columbia and
Sank are to remain one district as
at present; Winnebago and Wau-
shara will be combined and Dane
will probably be the only county
aside from Milwaukee which will It
self constitute a single district. The
senate apportionment will not be
definitely decided on until the assem-
bly, apportionment bill mas passed
the house.
The first of the apportionment
bills, affecting assembly districts,
came into the assembly from the ap-
portionment committee. 1t was in
sisted that this was not meant as
real appOrtionment but simply as
tentative plan. In this bill Milwau-
kee is given eighteen assembly dis
tricts
