congressional reapportionment bill has
just been completed by the house COM

place Of all the house bills that have
been introduced on this subject Just
how the senate will take this bill, has
not been disclosed as yet.
Representative Nichols, of Hunt,
chairman OF this committee, with a
corps Of assistants, has been at work
on this bill for the past week, and he
says he believes the committee has
evolved a bill that will be thoroughly
satisfactory. The bill will be intro
duced as soon as it comes back from
the printer 1t is understood the ants
as well as the pros are disposed to look
with favor on this measure 1t is said
that, as far as was possible, the pro-
hibition question and the Bailey issue,
have been eliminated from the meas

districts, two being added in accord
ance with the increased population of
Texas.
There are several bills on this same
subject now pending in the senate,
