LANSING, Mich, July 22.-CSpe-
cial)--The supreme court today de-
clared unconstitutional the reappor.
tionment law which made several
changes in the representative districts
IN Michigan, and which gave three
extra representatives TO Wayne
county. D.. t.
The court held the act unconstitu.
tional because two counties in the
state, Iron and Antrim, having more
than a majority OF population, were
not given a separate representative.
The constitution provides that each
county having a moiety of population
shall be entitled to a representative.
The opinion, in part, says:
eve think II clear that the county
Is the unit Of representation that II
II Is not alone entitled to a represen-
tatiye. II must be Joined 10 an entire
county or counties TO send one repre-
sentative and conversely, that If the
county alone is entitled 10 a repre-
sentative. il cannot be combined with
other counties TO form district.
Such combination of a county having
moiety OF the representative ratio
with other counties, containing
less than a moiety is contrary TO the
theory OF the county as unit Of rep
resentation. and is unjust TO both
counties combined.
"The only exception is where a
county having less than a motety is
entirely surrounded by counties, each
which has more than a moiety, in
which case the law OF legislative ne
cessity makes II necessary, IL the
reople of the lesser county are 10 be
