He told the members OF the COM
Mittee that unless the new consul

late the constitution in this respect
at all times. Delegate Trautman
would include In the new constitu-
tion provision that the state must
be reapportioned every ten Gays. In
this his suggestion conforms with
the constitution as 1t now exists.
The st. Clair county man, however
to force the legislature to make
this reapportionment would pro-
vide that failure OF the general as
