REPRESENTATION UNEQUAL.
PRESENT Districting of Mississippi Works
Some Freaky Tricks.

Jackson.-Secretary of State Power
has prepared a tabulated report from
the official returns in his department
covering the senatorial contest in 1907,
ny sensational and supreme court and
railroad commissioner districts. Taking
some of these districts as a basis of
comparison, there is the First senatorial
district, composed of Hancock, Harrison
and jackson, which have one senator
ana tour representatives, and these three
cast a total vote for United States sena-
tor of 1855.
The Second district 10 composed of five
countless or was, as George has been
since added, making the sixth, who are
entitled to one senator and five repre-
sentatives, yet they cast 6,aoO votes.
The Sixteenth senatorial district, COM
posed OF the one county of Noxubee, I'M
der the some condition, is entitled to
one senator and three representatives,
yet only 993 votes were recorded.
The n county of Bolivar, composing
the Thirtieth district, cast 500 votes, yet
sends a senator and two representatives.
lssaquena and Sharkey, comprising the
twentieth district, cast 496 votes, yet
they have a senator and two representa-
tives. Another t%wo-county district,
Clarke and Jasper, cast 2,923 votes in
the same election, and get one senator
and three representatives, their voting
strength being almost three times that
of the one-county district of Noxubee,
and over three and a half times that o.
the Bolivar county district.
According to Secretary Powers figures,
the vote cast for senator in 1907 was
11S,345. 1t Is considered doubtful
whether the same number will be at
tanned in 1911.
At the same time Secretary Power
gives the figures in the same election by
supreme court districts, also the number
OF senators and representatives appor
toned. The summary is as follows:
First District-Attala, Bolivar, Kinds,
Holmes, Issaquena, Kemper, Lauderdale,
Leake, Madison, Neshoba, Newton, Nox.

ASSESSORS ARE AT WORK.
Fair Increase Expected in the Values
This Year.

Jackson.-County assessors are busil,
engaged in preparing the new realty and
personality assessment rolls for the cur
rent year, and reports from over the
state are to the effect that they are
making fairly good Roadway with the
work.
Unfortunately, this is a campaign year
in Mississippi, and it is not likely that
there will be any remarkable increase in
the realty and personally rolls, for a
large majority of the assessors are candi-
dates Cor reelection, and, if the future
can be judged by the past, they are not
inclined to be too strict in placing of
values on property when their political
fate is in the hands of the men whoss
property they are assessing.
