NORTH CAROLINA
MAY GET ANOTHER
SEAT IN CONGRESS
Continued From Page One)

change much, California appeared
to have won two more seats than
the 20 she now holds. Other indi.
Gated gains were: Arizona, from
1 seat to 2 seats; Florida, from
to s; New Mexico, from l to 2;
North Carolina, from II to IL;
Oregon, from 3 to 4; and Tennes-
see, from 9 to 10.
The indicated losers of seats
were: Illinois, from q to 26; Indi-
ana, from IL to IL; Kansas, from
7 to 6; Massachusetts,, from IS to
IA; Nebraska, from 5 to 4; Ohio,
from "a to %; Oklahoma, from 8
to 8; and Pennsylvania, from "a
to 33.
One of the possibilities suggested
by the preliminary figures was
that California might get three, in
stead of two, extra seats, in which
case, Iowa might have to surrend-
err one of its 9 places.
Apportionment is done by a com
plicated mathematical formula
prescribed by congress. Under a
law passed last spring, this is the
situation:
The first week in January, the
President will relay to congress
the census report he will receive
tomorrow. Congress may take 90
days to decide whether it wants to
change the apportionment method
or the number of seats, or whether
to have any reapportionment at all
CATER the 1920 census congress de-
cided not to reapportion, and the
1910 seating held until 1880. AT
the end of the so days, if congress
has done nothing, the clerk of the
house will certify to the states
their new allotments on the basis
of the census figures.
