.REAPPORT|QN BILL
BACKED BY T|LSON
Duty Of Congress to Settle
Problem, House Leader
Asserts.

House Leader Tilson today declared
emphatically in favor of passing a re
apportionment bill at this session OF
Congress, even though 1t would be
| impossible to have States redistricted
under the new eapportionment, ba sed
on the 1870 census records, before the
1880 census record will be availab Bile.
The present situation is admittedly
In violation of the intent of the Con
stitution and does not allow equal rep
resentation in the law-making body
Tor all the citizens, as had been re-
peatedly emphasized in debate in the
House.
There are three schools Of thought
regarding reapportionment, each OF
which has its own supporters in the
legislative body, who have been un
willing to compromise their differ
e-ices, with the result that the ques
ton has never been settled, although
repeated attempts have been made to
pass a reapportionment act.
Provision Is Made.
Tilson said today: "The Constitu
tion provides that reapportionment
OF members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives among the States shall be
made after each decennial census, and
this provision places a duty on Con
gress which should not be ignored.
Many States," Mr. Tilson pointed
out. which have alrge increases OF
population since the census of 1916
do not now have their proper repre-
sentation in the House Of Representa-
tlves. Hundreds of thousands OF
are partially disenfranchsed because
the present membership Of the House
does not truly reflect the distribution
or population in the country, and this
is state OF affairs which cannot con
tlnue Indefinitely if we are to preserve
popular government in the United
States.
lf this problem is not promptly
and properly met. we shall soon have
conditions akin to the rotten bor.
ough system which at one time pre-.
vailed in England.
Differences of opinion in the House

Any attempt to revise laws affect

that it should guard against special

us with the necessity of continuing

agree should not cause us to build
either more or less than we otherwise
should.
ANY future treaty of limitation will

enter on no competition. We should

Quoted by the special campaign funds
committee, of which the eloquent apd
hard-hitting Reed of Missouri. a
Democrat, is chairman.
Such a proposal would revive as
side skrmish the controversy over re-
viving that committee, a controversy
which tied up the congressional ma
chinery for more than a week at the
end of the last session. but even the
bitterest opponents of the Reed COM
mittee concede that the Senate will
revive it whenever asked to do so.
The charges against Ware are not
only those of excessive expenditures
in the primary-expenditur which
tOtaled $3.50 0,O00-but also those OF
fraud and corruption in the voting.
Smith is under what many Sena-
tors regard as an even more serious
charge-that of accepting money for

tons generally and commonly had
business.
The position of Senator Norris of
Nebraska Republican insurgent. ana
the others favoring immediate exclu-
sion of Smith and Ware. is that a full
and complete hearing has been had
by the campaign funds committee:
that Smith and Ware both appeared
before that committee. and that none
of the evidence adduced as to condl-
tions in the primaries has been sue
ceSsfully controverted.
On the other hand. those contend
ing that Senators-elect should be
seated assert that the Reed committee
hearing was merely an ex-parte pro-
ceeding, that after the evidence was
adduced the people Of Illinois and
Pennsylvania elected them to office
and that they have right to their
seats by virtue of that election.
Others opposed to denying the oath.
but ready to vote for ultimate exclu-
sion, take their position on the brOad d
ground that the Senate should not

Senator would be denied hearing in

the vehicle for carrying the so-called
pet river projects. The matter of
leeislating for these tributaries can

Not Insurer OF Citizens.
However, in dealing with the flood
question the President wanted it clear
ly understood that while the Federal
Government stands ready to provide
generous relief and protection. it is
not in insurer of it's citizens against
the hazards Of the elements.
In the paragraph of his message
devoted to prohibition the President
expressed himself more forcibly than
ordinarily in demanding enforcement.
He declared that some progress is
being made by the Government in
this direction and gave positive as
surance that the Federal authorities
propose to discharge their obliga ton
for enforcement to the full extent of
their ability. However. he did not
overlook the opportunity to again
accuse the local governments Of being
lax in their cooperation. saying that
if they gave the same vigilance, the
results of enforcement would be more
successful.
His appeal for increased appropria-

evidence except the certificate of

only prima facie evidence of the facts
it purports to state.
A Different Problem.
"In the case of Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Ware. different proposition con.
fronts the Senate. The Senate has
appointed it's committee and directed
it to make an investigation and, in
obedience to the comma nds of the
Senate, the committee has gone into
Illinois and PENNSYLVANIA and made
an investigation. The committee has
reported the results of its investiga-
tion to the Senate. 1t has submitted
to the Senate the sworn testimony
taken in this investigation and, there
fore, the Senate is now and has been
for many months in possession of
the official information contained in
the report of the committee and the
evidence which it has taken There
fore, at the very threshold, the certifi
Gates of election of these men are
challenged by this evidence and this
report"
In conclusion, Senator Norris de-
clared that on the basis of this evil
dence aud the report of the commit.
tee upon its face value, it absolutely
annihilates the presumption in favor
of the certificates of election. 1t brings
both cases clearly within the rule laid
down by this Senate in the Newberry
case. and if the Senate still adheres
to that rule and desires to enforce the
principle of government therein enun-
ciated, it will refuse to permit either
of these gentlemen to be seated"
Besides Ware, his chief counsel in
the Senate contest. James NJ. Beck
of Pennsylvania, finds himself in
contest involving his right to a seat
in the House to which he was elected
at special election in that State
last month. He was given the oath
of office yesterday by a vote of 243
to 157. but his case was referred to
an elections committee to determine
whether he was legal resident of
Pennsylvania at the time of his cleo
ton.
Beck, who formerly was solicitor
general of the United States, has
lived in Washington for a number
Of years. and it is charged that he
did not have a legal residence in
Philadelphia when his name was
entered in the election.
