SMALLER TWELFTH DISTRICT.

The action of the republican House
caucus at Washington foreshadows a
congressional apportonment which
will leave the House with its present
membership OF 39t. Thus the growth
OF Michigan during the past decade Of
over 16 per cent viii not suffice to
give it any additional representation in
the House. Although Michigan will
stm be divided into twelve congress
sional districts. the disproportionate
growth of the upper peninsula and
Wayne county necessitates redistrict-
ing by the present legislature. The
census 9f 1910 gave to the upper pen
insula total population OF $4,000 and
TO Wayne county $4,000 The total
average population per district under
the new districting bin will be about
1000. The necessity therefore will
be seen for decreasing the size and
population of the first and twelfth
districts It is probable that the leg
islature win divide Wayne county into
two districts instead of one and sew
eral fractions, as now, and that i'm the
division Of the upper peninsula the
western end of the district, including
the copper and iron mining regions.
will be set off by themselves. Such a
district would have a population of
about 100000. This would leave the
southeastern portion of the district, in
Guiding Menominee, Delta, School
craft Maclinac and Chippewa coun-
ties, all Of which are agricultural
counties. rs a nucleus for a new elev
enth district. To these could be added
a sufficient number of the counties in
the northern apex of the lower PENN
sula TO provide the requisite popula-
tion quota This would create a dis
trict homogeneous in its interests and
well connected by existing railroad
lines.
The correction of the excessive size
Of the first and twelfth districts would
then leave the balance Of the state to
be divided into eight districts. With
out exception the remaining congress
sional districts of the state are well
under the total Of population required
by the proposed reapportionment law,
and each of them will have TO be
increased in size in order to meet with
the new requirements.

measure, but better late than never
