santa Fe, NOV. LINE leSlSld-
tive apportionment which will be
made by the coming legislature
will be even more favorable to the
republicans than that provided in
the constitution, for the population
changes since 1910, as well as coun-
ty divisions since then, Will work
altogether favorably to the coun-
ties which went republican on No
vember 2, counting BernaIillo as a
republican county since it gave a
majority to Harding although its
legislative representative this time
with sit with the majority. The
constitutional provision for the ap-
portionment is very simple:
"At it's first session after the
publication of the census of the
United States in the year 1920 and
at the first session after each
United States census thereafter, the
legislature may reapportion the
legislative districts of the state
upon the basis of population; pro-
vided, that each county included in
each district shall be contiguous to
some other county therein"
Redistricting Not Mandatory.
Notice that reapportionment IS
not mandatory, and that since
there has been so slight an increase
in the states population the APP
portionment of ten years ago would
still be justifiable were it not for
some important shifts in popula-
tion and county divisions.
The counties of Chaves, Eddy,
Roosevelt, Quay and Curry, which
each elect one senator will under
the new apportionment lost that
privilege and they are all demo-
cratic. The unit of population for
each senator will be $4,000, al
though it is obviously impossible to
make exact division.
Bernalillo Gets Two.
According to the new census, tho
following counties would be likely
privileged to elect senators within
their boundaries: Bernalillo 2, San
Miguel, ColfaX, Dona Ana, Grant,
Mckinley, Mora, Rio Arriba, San
Ia Fe. Socorro, Union, Valencia and
Taos. making IA senators out of "a
on whom the republicans count as
certainties. Chaves will be Joined
to De Baca, Roosevelt to Curry,
and Lea to Eddy, making three
senators that will be democratic.

that IL the operation of laws en-

Special Teachers Rates.
There seems to be some uncer-
tainty about the state as to the
granting Of teachers rates by the
railroads, although announcement
of the fact that a fare and third
for round trip tickets for registered
association members would be Civ
en- has been made a number OF
times. The reason for the uncer-
tainty seems to lie in the fact that
up to date many ticket agents have
not been advised of the granting
of any rates to teachers. Last year
agents at different points were not
advised until the day or the con-
vention and had been forced to sell
tickets at regular rates and later
on make rebates.
Superintendent Walter B, NC
