ON POPULATION BASIS
Salt Lake County Entitled to
Additional House Men,

ON POPULATION BASIS

Plans for the capportionment Of the
state in order to get moro equitable
distribution Of the senators and repre-
sentatives in the state Legislature are
being sugggested and an effort will be
made TO secure the roapportionment Of
the state by the Forthcoming legisla-
ture. The feasibility Of dividing the
state into two congressional districts,
instead Of having both congressman
elected at large, is likewise being dis
cusSed.
The difficulty Of dividing Utah into
two congressional districts lies in the
fact that large portion of the popu
latiou is III a few counties in the
northern part. Salt Lake county con
tains more than third of the popu-
lation Of the state. Those who wish
TO have two congressional districts find
it practically impossible to fix logi-
cal geographical division that will
equally divide the population and at
the Same time maintain the boundary

Salt Lake countyis representation in
the Legislature is fifteen members out

members in the senate, Salt Lake mas
five. According to population, Salt
Lake should have six out of eighteen.
One proposal is 10 increase the mem

give Salt Lake seven members and to
readjust the apportionment throughout
the state.
Out of forty-fve members in the
house Salt Lake has ten, when accord
ing to the proportion of population it
should havo fifteen out OF forty-6ve.
The contemplated change involves in
crcasing the membership OF the house
to ffty-one and giving Salt Latc
seventeen representatives.
The apportionmcnt for the legisla-
ture has not changed since tho adoption
Of the state constitution, though the
proportion Of population has greatly
