Constitutional Amendment
To Alter Senate Districts
May BE Offered Assembly

the smallest ot them ill
While II I~ true that the Seven
ttcUth elects two senator, and the
IWontN-uuth only me. the fact re
maIns that the gross discrepancy IN
population between the two proves
beyond even the proNCrbjaI reason
able doubt that there has been no
effort Whatsoever TO follow the e&-
ting constitutional provision that
the districts shall contain, as near
ar may be. an equal number OF m
labjtantS."
Even on the assumption that the
population per senator and not the
population per district should be the
test, there StlIl remains an astound-
ing gap between the Seventeenth and
the TWenty-nInth. In the former
there is n senator for every 100000
Of population, IN the latter one for
the less than $4,000.
The untaIIness in the ease of these
two districts is the rule rather than
the exception with practically all the
other districts of the state; and it is
10 remedy such glaring enormitles
that a new constitutional provision
is being considered.
The proposal would be brief and
TO the point. 1t would provide that
the State be divided into fifty Sen
,torIal districts, each electing one
State SENATOR, with the usual pro-
NlSO that these districts shall be as
nearly equal in population as may
be.
Proponents Of the amendment,
however, are likely to throw in one
sop to the smaller counties, by way
OF getting it passed. There will be
added, according to present plans, a
provision that no county shall have
more than One SenatOr-a provision
