GIVE UP IN CONFUSION

The present Legislature again
attempted to sidestep the issue by
adopting resolution which would
ask the voters to limit Wayne TO
% seats, but after two hours of
argument. members of the Senate
gave up in confusion.
1t was Senator Ben Carpenter
of Harrison who broke the ice.
Every one expected him to 90
along with the rural bloc in its at
tempts to strange Wayne. Sitting
quietly. he said nothing until an
other senator in jest called upon
him TO explain highly technical
amendment.
"Ail right, I'll make a speech
II you insist" he said. "And IL
you listen 10 me you'll have no
more trouble"
They listened.
"Now, what we should do II
/ forget this nonsense about the
resolution adopted I'm the House
calling for constitutional
amendment merely to save the
faces of legislators too cowardly
to vote In the open for reappor-
tionment.' he said.
Its not a hard matter. WHY
don't we obey the Constitution,
give Wayne County more repre-
sentation to which she Is GER
tainly entitled and forget this
silly resolution"
EXPECTS COMPROMISE
Many senators, like Otto w.
Bishop of Alpena, objected to out.
and-out reapportionment, because
If it is done according to popula-
ton. he would be eliminated from
the Legislature and his seat given
TO a more populous district.
That's not necessarily sou
Senator Arthur f.. Wood of De-
troit explained. IL happened to
write the last reapportionment
bill back In 1925. Even then we
didn't give Wayne County all
the Representatives IL had COM
Ing. IL was a compromise then.
and IL will be again."
The city bloc, led by Senator
Earl w. Munshaw, agreed the ul-
innate solution would be TO In
crease the Senate by one member
from -Waynel- and increase De-
troits representation in the House
from II TO % or % members.
Speaker of the House Howard
Nugent said that in his opinion
the lower chamber members would
insist on the Is lirpitation.
