Reapportionment


The house of representatives has shown states
manship and courage in dealing with the troublesome
problem of reapportionment.
Since the early days of the constitution other
congress has done than compromise on this is
sue and meet it with temporary expedients. TIE
Fem bill just passed does what had to be done sooner
later 1t fixes permanently the size of the house
and provides not only immediate reapportionment
but system that it in the future after each
decennial census If it becomes law it will be diff
cult hereafter for less populous states Seshy to de-
prve others of their just representation in the past
The Fem bill limits membership of the house to
49, the present total Instead of leaving to congress-
the duty of legislating themselves out of office it
gives the task of reaocating members to the Secre
tary of commerce. Congress retains the right to
ect his decision but only if it adopts substitute re-
apportionment plan in prescribed time.
fourth of states have been deprived unfairly
of their constitutional right of representation for eight
years. and will be for five years before this new
plan can be put into effect but the wrong has not
been endured in yan if this wise solution is accepted
for protecting all in the future.
The senate should let nothing interfere with adop
ton of the bill before adjournment

OF that proposal for an additional s25ooo.-

state of Georgia has no specific state enforcement
chiaery and no general state prohibition agents.
Let Uncle Sam do it. is the motto. And that means
in practice that the taxpayers of wet states like New

The Origin of Man

.DR. AUSTIN H. CLARK says
IL that, in his opinion, man was
not evolved from lower animals, but
came on earth in much his present
form, which brings q smile of relief
and satisfaction to the austere coun-
tenance of the Rev. John Roach
Straton.
81 am glad" remarks Straton, "to
hear a responsible scientist tell me
the truth for once" How could a
responsible scientist tell anything
else. But let that pass. Other men
who have made no less faithful stud
les of the origin of man neither are
so sure nor enthusiastic.
ut sounds incredible" says Roy
Chapman Andrews, referring to DR..
Clark's theory.

lessor William K. Gregory of CO.
