The Equity of Restricting Represen-
tation From Large Centers

Mr.. Chairman, when VIC adjourned
this afternoon / was discussing the
question of ratios and of the two pro-
visions which Disseminated in favor
OF the country and against the cities,
by fixing smaller ratio for the coun-
try counties than is fixed for the larger
counties and the cities, and providing
that no city having more than a speei-
fed number of senator's shall have an
other senator, except upon full ratio.
| had stated that there were two rea-
sons for not applying strict rule OF
representation according to absolute
population to the whole state, and that
these two reasons were, first, that ter
ritorial extension, variety and scpara-
ton OF interests, upon the one hand.
required a representation which was
not necessary for the other, when
there was condensation in the great
centers of population; and, in the Sec
ond place, that the great increase OF
effective force which comes from the
election OF large number of repre-
sentatives OF one city, representatives
who are responsible to the same pub
lie opinion, and in fact, represent
but one combined interest of the citi-
zens of that city, the great accumu-
lation of power created by that COM
bination so far out-wcighed the effec-
tive power of great number of scat
tered representatives of widely divid-
ed ccnters of population, small centers
of population, that a difference in the
ratio, such as is preferred in this
amendment, goes but small ways to-
ward equalization.
Now, Mr.. Chairman, let me say a
word upon this last proposition. In
the city OF New York there are thirty
Assembly districts. Under this pro-
posed measure there are to thirty-fve
| would venture to say that a ma
jority of the people of the city of
New York can not tell the boundaries
of 10 per cent of the Assembly dis
tricts of that city I will venture to
say more-that not more than one
third of the people OF the city can
tell what Assembly district they live
in. | will undertake to say that not
10 per cent of the people of the city
0f eel 1,-j,, II
district they live in. The boundary
lines are so far statutory and matters
of words; the distinctions between
the artificial divisions of Assembly
districts and OF Senatorial districts,
and Aldermanic districts and civil
justice districts and election districts,
are so shadowy, in fact they are so
largely a matter of statute and so
little matter resting in real distinc-
ton of population, that people do not
know anything about them until they
come to study their tickets just before
they go to the polls, or look into the
newspapers to see where they are to
vote. A resident in one of our great
cities-it is so in New York and it is
getting to be so in Brooklyn and it
will soon be so in Buhalo-has not
for his neighbor the man who lives
next door; the chances are he does
not know who he is or what his
name is, and would not recognize him

GREAT ADDRESS BY ELIHIJ ROOT

On Legislative Apporonent in the New York Constitutional
Convention of 1894 in Which Discussed the Fundamental
Principles of Legislative Apportonen Between City and
Country the Right of Each County Have at Least One
Representative and the Equity of Special Limitation Upon
the Senate is Recognized
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1920-11-05

Mr.. Root spoke in part as follows:
The next question is as to the
particular scheme of apportionment
that is to be presented to this con-
vention. Is that fair? At the basis
of that, sir, lies the question which
must be determined upon before we
can agree upon any apportionment.
The question has been raised some
what in the attacks upon this bill, but
not debated fully or broadly. whether
in dividing the state into Senate and
Assembly districts, we are to have
regard to county lines.
