New Basis Proposed Gives Orleans
and Caddo More Legislators
District Judges Salaries Up
For Consideration.

Baton Rouge, La-Hostilitics have
been renewed in the Constitutional
Convention over the proposed legisla-
tive appOrtionment
For brief space Of time it appeared
as II harmonious agreement would
be reached. Mr. Provosty Of Pointe
Coupee, in conCiliatO"y speech, NOV
ed a reconsideration Of the vote taken,
when the legislative reapportionment
ordinance was recommitted with in
structiCns to the committee to work
out plan of apportionment for the
House of Representative based on a
population of 10000 and major frac-
tions thereof
Mr. PrOvosty went on to say that,
through the efforts OF mutual friends
the dove of peace had been induced
TO return. and he believed that by re-
considering the ordinance the contro-
versy could be quickly and satsfaCtor
lily settled Many OF the delegates ap
plauded the peaceful efforts of the
Pointe Coupee delegates as they car
ried the motion for reconsideration.
The motion to reconsider had
scarcely been carried when a group
of delegates made a grab at the dove
of peace and pulled its tail feathers

Mr.. Braezeale Of NatchitOches,
chairman of the apportionment COM
engrossed and passed 10 third read
ing, precisely as it came from commit
tee, fixing the Senate at thirty-five
members and the House at eighty-six.
Objection was raised and the point
was made that could be done only un-
der the proper order of business.
President Bouanchaud sustained the
point of order, and the ordinance had
TO wait its turn on the calendar. Be-
fore this was done. however the con
vention got into a fight over another
ordinance. and by the time the appor-
tionment measure was reached in the
regular order II was so late in the day
that Mr.. BrcaZeale had it returned to
the calendar and 1t is due to come up
again soon.
According to gossip around the hall,
the leaders in the movement recently
To recommit the ordinance discovered
