Texas Will Get 7wo
Additional Seats
UnderN ew Census Bill

WASHINGTON, June 7.-P-
The census-reapportionment bill.
providing for the taking Of the 1880
population count and reallotment Of
the seats Of the house among the
states, went back TO the senate with
no amendments necessary. That
was obviated by the success Of the
swift parliamentary maneuvers ef-
fected by the house leaders in get
ting the allen exclusion" and force
bill amendments out of the meas
ure after they had been put in by
substantial majcrities.
This was accomplished during the
most tense session of the house in
several years through an amend
ment by Representative Tilson OF
connecticut. republican leader, which
struck out the two controverted
amendments and substituted for
them the original language OF the
bin. II 1t had not been adopted
and the original amendments had
stood. the bill would have reached
the vote on final passage with q
provision that aliens should not be
included in the census figures on
which house reapportionment Is TO
be based. and another 20 prevent
the counting Of citizens older than
81 who are not permitted TO vote.
The former was opposed by rep
r~esentatives Of states having large
urban and industrial centers. and
the latter by members from the
South.
Under the terms Of the bill. IL
states will lose % representatives
and eleven states will gain them on
the basis of 1880 population esti-
mates. The new allotment Of seats
10 be made by the director Of the
census If congress should fail to act.
On a basis Of 435 house members
and using the estimated 1890 popu-
lation, the following states would
lose:
Missouri 8: Indiana. Iowa. Ken
lucky and Mississippi 2 each: Ala
bama. Kansas. Louisiana. Maine,
Massachusetts,. Nebraska New York,
North Dakota. Pennsylvania. Ten
nessee, Vermc~t and Virginia, /
each.
The following states would gain:
California 6: Michigan 4: Ohio 8:
New Jersey and Texas 2 each: Ari-
IONA. Connecticut. Florida. North
Carolina. Oklahoma and Washing
ton, one each.

jeanette Rankin. first woman men,
Der of congress, who voted against q
declaration of war and then wept. Is
continuing her campaign to outlaw
war.
The former Mo1-ana representa-
tive is living quietly on her 65-acre
farm. near here. raising pecans and
studying plans TO make war so un-
popular as to make 1t impossible.
Organization of the Georgia
Peace society Is her last venture.
The society held its first meeting
in Athens a year ago. and when II
met again this year In Atlanta at
tendance attested the growth OF i'll
terest in the organization.
Miss Rankin believes that so long
as war is accepted as an InstitU-
ton ii will be resorted 70 In the
settlement OF international disputes.
Her motivating purpose nowadays
is to focalize the inherent opposition
Of women 10 war a. an institution.
But Miss Rankin Is not a femi-
mist. She contends she did not op-
pose war on emotional grounds. but
possessed and still possesses a ra-
tional basis for the vote that drew
her worldwide attention back in
1917.
She says opposition TO war will
grow with education Of people as 20
the real meaning Of a war. Al
though she was a member Of the
congress that enacted the Volstead
Law. she says she realizes that pro-
hibition is ar example of the in

heart by force or violence.
The same plan used by Miss Fen

frase in Montana in 1914 is aGvo-
Gated as a means Of teaching the
evils Of war. She said she Travelled
all over the state and invited her
audiences to discuss suffrage with
her.
