REINFORCEMENT BILL is SAID
To BE GAINING NEW SUfPORT

New support for the reapportionment
bill, initiative No. 81, is developing
throughout the state according to in
formation coming to campaign head
quarters, 824-5 Republic Building Sc
attic. Under the direction Of Frank
g. Jackson, campaign director, and
Senator Dan Landon, one of the spon-
sors Of the bill, several thousand
petitions have been sent out and by the
first Of the week an army Of workers
will be iii the field. Commercial clubs,
real estate boards and community
organizations are supporting the bill
and mobilizing their forces to obtain
the $4,000 signatures necessary to in
sure the measure place on the ballot
net November.
1t is pointed cut by the sponsors Of
tho measure that initiative No. 81 is
only giving the people the right to
which the constitution entities them
reapportionment on the basis of popu-
lation after every census This has not
been done since 1901. The initiative
gives the people the right to do for
themselves what che legislature has
neglected to do.
A striking instance of the unfairness
of the present basis of representation
is found in Seattle. The forty sencond
legislative district which includes q
group Of city precincts and q large
territory north and east OF the city,
with o population of more than $780,
900 has ole senator ard two repre-
sentatiyes. With one tenth of the
states population the district has only
one forty ninth of the representation
In the House and one forty second OF
the representation in the Senate. In
the downtown section of Seattle, other
districts with less than 10000 popula
ton have the same representation in
the legislature. 1t is easy to under
stand how this inequitable representa-
ton can place legislative representation
in the hands Of a minority. Initiative
No. 81, providing for reapportionment
of legislative representation on the
basis of population as the constitution
directs, will correct these unfair stu
