It's long way from cause to

the Bad Lands is responsible for
all the misquitoes now seen and
felt in Bismarck.
But that's the way the weather

When it receded it left ponds and
the hot weather following was

~@-Thase are not the latest census
figures, but the late figures will not
change materially the districts popu-
lation relationship to each other, nor
to the population of the state as a
whole, which, in 1915, was 2,35S,066.
Upon that basis, ten districts of
equal size would have '235, 807 people.
1t will be seen, therefore, that four
Of the present districts are larger in
population than the districts would
be under the ten congressman plan
if the state could be divided equally.
These are the Third, Seventh, Tenth,
and Eleventh districts.
The smallest district in the state
is the First. 1t is surrounded by
three other small districts-the Sec
ond, Fifth and Sixth. If only these
four were reshuffled and divided
three ways, each new district upon
the population basis here considered,
would have only about 246,000 peo-
pie, or 1000 more than the average
under the ten-district plan.
Iowa congressional districts have
been subject in some degree to the
same conditions that may necessitate
complete revision of the state senat-
orial districts this year. Eastern, and
particularly southeastern Iowa, was
settled first. The southeastern cor
ner of the state was popUIous when
the northwestern corner was still
largely unbroken prairie. Congress
ional appointments, made years
ago, were based upon conditions then.
The western and northern counties
since have been filled up. while the
eastern and southern counties, which
were developed earlier, have grown
more slowly.
Thus the First district, in the
southeast corner, today is the small
est in point Of population, and the
Eleventh, in the northwest corner, is
the largest. When formed they were
about equal.
This condition makes it likely that
district consultations are most like
Iy to be made in eastern rather than
western Iowa. The four districts that
make up the southeastern quarter Of
the state would seem to be most in
danger.
