Chalkley prepared 1t as 4 tentative
proposition, and IL anybody in ary part

like IT, he Is Q liberty to nave i'll
changed without offending the member
from Wise.
Like the congressional redistrIcting,
this affects every citizen In the state
In greater or less degree. and Is there
rore OF the utmost Importance. To re-
peat what has already been said about
changing the congressional lines, itI
would be impossible to produce a bill
which VIII suit ans two men in the
State.
AS the result of the increase OF pop
ulation In the Southwest, Mr.. Cknlkley
would give the Ninth District az now
constituted thirteen members OF the
House. Instead OF eleven as at present
1t would have five Senators instead OF
four.
There were more people in tn. State
in 1910 than IN 1900. and while In some
localities the population was largely
increased. IN others 1t has diminished.
Richmond IS given six members OF the
House instead OF Ave, and the city and
Henrloo county are given together
three Senators. Tho city alone now
elects two. while Henrico, with other
counties, elects one.
