Reapportionment in Congress.


AZ a result Of the growth in popu-
Iation OF the United States, as shown
by the census. Congress will soon
have TO take up the problem Of read
juetment Of the basis OF representa-
ton in the House Of Representatives.
Under the present plan of appor-
tionment each House member repre-
sents in theory a population OF ILL.,
s77. and the House has 435 members
The new census gives the continental
United States a population Of lOo,-
100000 II the present ratio Is to be
maintained, the number Of Repre-
sentatiyes must be increased to very
nearly 500: or, If the present numeri-
cal strength OF the House is not in
creased, the ratio will be one Repre-
sentative for each 100000 population.
approximately.
House leaders as rule favor the
plan to increase the House member :
ship and retain the present ratio OF
representation, although there are
some who declare that the present
body is already too large and un-
wieldy for the efficient transaction OF
business, and that to add IS new
members would be little short Of a
calamity Those who hold this idea
are in the minority, however.
Any s.1to if threatened with the
loss Of one or more of its Representa- :
tives, will protest vigorously and We
hementiy against the loss of influence
in the House. Maine remembers with
pride the brilliant and successful fight
made in 10000 by the late Hon. +. c.
BurIcigh for the retention of her four
Congressional districts when the
question of reduction OF membership
in the House was then under discus
sion. The result was that the number
of Representatives was substantially
increased. in keeping with the growth
Of the country's population. and it is
reasonable to assume that the num-
her will be again increased rather
than reduced or maintained at its
present size.
In the so-called doubtful states,
where Republicans and Democrats are
about equal in voting strength, both
parties will resist any reduction of
Representatives, as ii would alter the
possibilities of political control
Congressman Isaac Siegel, chair
man of the committee which will
frame the next apportionment BILL
virtually set at rest existing fears as
to Names loss of a Representative
sometime ago in a statement in which
he said the Indications were that
there would not be any reduction in
Names delegation. The statement
was made before the Maine census
figures were announced and was
based on the estimate that Names
population would be over 725,000. AS
the figures give Maine 1926 popu
lation and as the ballots of the women
also enter into consideration, Con
gresham Siegels forecast is signifl-
cant and reassuring.

CHURCH QUESTION RAISED
England Is Discussing Whether It Would Be Right to Give Last sacra- meut to MxcSwiney.

Would Be Right to Give Last Sacra-
 ment to Mscswiney.
 London, Sept. 1.-The question has been widely discussed here recently as to whether it is justifable to give the last sacrament to hunger strikers, it being maintained by many persons that to all intents sush strikers were committing suicide. Father Bernard Vaughan, who is famous for his ser mons and writings, today made the following statement to the press as- sociation regarding the subject:
 Personally from my reading of theology. moral and dogmatic, I should not feel entitled to administer the rites of the church to anyone, no matter what his nationality, who was deliberately dying through a hunger strike. But I am free to admit that other theologians far more learned than I am, would reverse my verdict on the subject.
 Some nnoralists there are, who deny that hunger striking cannot be justified; oehers have drawn a dis tinction between objective through this and subjective error. But as you Are asking for my personal view of the subject, I give it for what it is worth. without comment upon any one who may differ from me-
