President Hoover's intimate friend

agency at midnight Saturday.
How long he would serve was an
nounced as indefinite by President
Hoover at the time Of his appoint
ment. Mr.. Legge. the chief executive
then said, will be chairman Of the
board "for the first year at least"
While the consensus here Is that
Legge will serve another year, Meth
err the president nor the chairman
himself has given any official indi'
cation of what may be expected. Or
that subject, Legge is smilingly un'
communicative.

5.318 Percent During
Last Ten Years
REINFORCEMENT IN 1882
Final Dissemination on Repre-.
s~entation Will Depend on
Count in Nation
REINFORCEMENT IN 1882

North Dakota probably will lose one
Of its three congressman in the re-
apportionment of 1882.
This became evident with the COM
pilation today of census figures for
the state by the Associated Press.
A tabulation of reports from dis
trict census supervisors shows the
states population to be 681 ,273, an in
crease of 34,4Ol over the 1920 figure,
or a gain of 5.318 per cent in the last
10 years. The 1890 census gave the
state a population of 646,872. The
new figures are subject to revision.
Reapportionment of the national
house Of representatives takes place
in 1882. Under the congressional act,
elections this year will not be affected.
It cannot be said with absolute Ger
tainty that the state will lose one of
its congressman until census figures
for the entire United States are avail
able. Reapportionment is made on
the basis of the total population Of
the country.
Loss Appears Certain
According to statements obtained
from North Dakota's three congress-
men. the state will lose one of its
members in the lower branch Of con-
gress rel If the population of the
country is considerably less than 12O.-
600, 600. Some estimates have been
made that the entire population Of
the United States will be above 122,-
0o0. 900.
II do not believe that the three
members of congress cal be saved
unless the country's census should be
around 1884, 900, and most observers
seem to think it will be considerably
more" said Congressman o. B. Burt
ness of Grand Forks.
Under the law passed by congress
last spring this will mean that be-
ginning with March 4, 1888. our state
will have only two members in the
house. OF course, this does not apply
to the three members who will be
elected in November. There Is a pos.
