Pierre.-The preponderence Of leg
lslative membership between the east

has always been SO heavy in favor
OF the eastern part that the west could
not make any great showing il they
should at any time attempt to push
any measure not to the liking of the
eastern members. Not that such a
test has often come up, but the force
of numbers existed from the begin.
ming OF statehood, and yet exists, al
though the west made a decided gain
through the apportionment act of the
last session, and will, no doubt, make
v a greater gain through the next
apportionment, which cannot come
until the session of 1917. The changes
in the senate must ONE by cutting
out eastern members, as the senate
has from the beginning been up to the
full constitutional limitation Of As.
While the house had room for expan-
sion within the constitutional limita-
tons, the law makers did not see that
such course was required, and while
the western part of the state gained
in that body, 1t was also by reduc.
lion east of the river. Up to the last
session the west river country had q
representation Of 20 to 149 members
of both houses, while the reapportion.

six years. Up to the last apportion.

Under the present apportionment they
will get ten out Of that number, q

the house will then be ten members.
or twenty-four out of 102, instead OF
fourteen out Of 104. The apportion.
ment act of the last session calls for
a house membership Of 1913 in the
first paragraph Of the act, but by
amendments this was reduced one, but
the first paragraph was not changed
to meet this amendment.

Who Owns tire Birds?

Wild game birds tire the property
of all citizens, under the Roman and
continental law. On this principle or
common ownership tae states OF this
country have enacted their laws. Bur
what OF birds that aiight but a short

for them. the migratory birds of the
United States are going the way Of

and the parrokeet. MI. William 8.
Haskell, Of the American Game Pro-

argued before the senate committee
that, though the title to the migratory

mon sense would suggest that It be-
longs to the federal government. and
the authorities at Washington should
give ample protection to this fast van
