Nv HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, Jan. l6.-Reapporllon-
ment of representation in the Cen
eral Assembly is certain to be one
of the issues before the l94l leglS-
lators and editorials from those pa
pers located in Piedmont counties
standing to gain thereby IRE already
calling on the law makers to do
. their clear constitutional duty" and
reappOrtion.
Nobody literate enough TO read
the Constitution can argue with
these editorials about its being Just
exactly that kind Of duty: but when
the representative and state Eena-
tors get around TO the matter there
will appear angles that are seldom
thought about when these clarion
calls are sounded from newspaper
SanctumS.
On the house side, there isn't the
slightest doubt about what to do
The North Carolina constitution
lays down flat, unbending mathe-
NAUTICAL method of determining which
counties shall get the 100 Repre-
sentatives. lie begin with each OF
the hundred gets one, and rather
intricate formula is laid down for
splitting the remaining twenty
seats. The thing is so technical that
there's small use going into it in
this article
But once the House has been dis
posed of, the fan G~....a >. There
isn't any fixed, set plan for divying
the fifty seats in the upper cham
ber-and there's where the rub
comes in.
Counties which would lose one
or more representatives under the
hard and fast mathematics of the
constitution, argue that "represen-
tatlon" includes both senate and
house seats. They argue that to sur
render house seat and not get
better senate rotation is to do them
grave injustice.
Take New Hanover, for an eX-
ample. Under the method of divid-
ing the house, there isn't even
shadow of a doubt about what
would happen. New Hanover should
have only one ills cad Of two Rep
resentatives.
AS soon as that happens. however,
the New Hanoverians Immediately
argue-and not llogically-that

had congressman during this cen
.ury. Doughton has been there almost
since time immemorial and before
him the seat was occupied by men
from the upper tier--at least as far
back as 1900.
Jim Rivers, publisher OF the
Watauga Democrat, must have had
a tip or at least a mighty good

gress several weeks before thee was
even hint of the Doughton decision
to quit: but he's fro mthe less pop
ulous section and unless the southern
end falls out within itself, he prob
uuly hasn't much of chance.
But the outstanding statewide pos
sibility is, as stated, the switching Of
Smith from the lieutenant governor
main line 10 the congressional spur
track 90.
Such a development would undoubt
edly be more beneficial to Reg Harris
of Person than to any of the other
candidates, as the probable Smith and
Harris strength overlaps at several
points.
So keep your eyes open for Smith

members of the district (Sampson,
Fender and Duplin) get senators
Just as often.
- 'Taint fair, they fairly shrek,
well vote against eapportionment
until the COWS come home, if you
don't fix it up so that we'll get a
senator every legislature"
That is the theme song, with
variations. of all the counties whose
representation would be reduced;
and when it comes to re-districting
the senate seats, there's real,
genuine fashioned knock down
and drag out.
Western counties which are now
so grouped that the Republicans
can't elect but two senators under
normal conditions, rise in wrath if
it is suggested that any new plan
be tried out.
First thing you know the SEN
ate will be full of dam Radicals if
you do that to u.s., they yelp in
anguish.
No sitting representative wants to
vote himself out Of a job as. was so
we'll expressed by Clarence Stone
Of Rockingham in 1887 when he was
opposing reapportionment:
cts bill to cut my throat and
of course I'm against it,, he
shouted on the flood. Rockingham
is one of the counties which would
be cut from two to one represen-
tative if the Constitution should
ever be obeyed.
Those are just few Of the COM
plicating matters and angles and SO
when somebody suggests that the
legislature ought to reapportion out
of hand and Immediately if not
sooner, just remember that it's a
whole easier in the saying than in
the doing.

In many quarters Willis Smith.
who will make his formal announce
ment for Governor later this week,
Is regarded as d very long shot in
the betting. There are those, indeed,
who profess to laugh at his entry.
The role of long shot isn't at all
new to Mr.. Smith and for the infor-
nation and warning Of those who
scott too loudly, the record is cited.
When Smith first ran for the legiS-
latlre from Wake county he was for
several weeks the butt of many
laughs and it was generally predicted
mes be showed under. He was elected
with plenty to spare.
When he ran for hi Sthird term in
TIE House il was pointed out that no
Wake county man had ever been able
to WIN three times in row over the
preceding forty years: and when
Smith added the announcement that
he would be candidate Tor speaker,
there was real outburst of mirth.
He led the entire ticket in Wake
county and was named speaker on
the very first ballot.
MING you. this corner IS not pre-
dieting that Smith will be the next
governor. nor even that he will be
IN the second primary, come this
June: but your reporter isn't one
