complete, many legislatures have
made it almost impossible for the
people to get equal representation
by amending the constitution. In
states like Delaware and Connecti-
cut, no petitions from the people
are allowed.
If the cities of Connecticut, for
instance, want to pass an amend
ment, they will have to get a
majority of the lower house to
propose it. then get two thirds of
the members of both houses to
back it at the next session. Only a
miracle could pass such an amend
ment, for it would mean that the
rurally dominated legislature would
have to vote against itself.
This does not mean that the
tyranny of the legislatures will
maintain its stranglehold on the
country forever. A few cities have
already won back some of their
rights. In Seattle. where there had
been no re-apportionment for 80
years and such unequal represen-
tation that l66. 600 of its inhabi-
tants in one district had the same
representation as two neighboring
counties with 5000 inhabitants,
the people have already carried
the fight to the ballot box.
Seattle Won Out
LUCKILY. Washington's constitu-
ton provides for an initiating petit
ton to place an amendment on the
ballot. Seattle drew up its petition,
and then voted for it overwhelm-
ingly on election day. As a result,
II is now one of the few cities in the
country whose representation in
the legislature is almost propor-
tlonate to its population.
When the cities of Michigan
were facing financial starvation
by the legislature recently, they
fought back with the same stra-
tegy. Acting together. they placed
an amendment on the ballot call
ing for return OF part of the state
collected sales tax to the cities.
They campalgned for it so success
fully that it won by a 100000
majority.
Probably the brightest cause for
hope during the last year was the
election in two states of progress
ave governors who have pledged
themselves to fight along with the
cities to end unequal representa-
ton.
In Illinois. Governor Adlai E.
Stevenson was elected by a SIS, 900
majority in l94S on a platform

Fourteenth Amendment, which
says that no state can "abridge the

Ruxal Tyranny

Rural Tyranny
In CONNECTICUT, Governor Ches-
ter Bowles has lashed out continu-
ally against the destructive effect
of the tyranny of unequal repre-
sentation on the cities. In the edu-
cational-aid bill, only $50 per pupil
was allotted children in cities, $llO
per pupil to children in the rural
areas. In the aid bill for school
buildings. only $4,000 was given
Hartford with l66. 900 inhabitants
The town Of Union with 234
inhabitants received the same
amount!
On national level, the fight
against the tyranny of the state
legislatures is being led by the
American Municipal Association,
the National Municipal League,
and the militant U. S. Conference
of Mayors.
Unfortunately, there is no pat
solution, no easy answer. The
tyranny is so complete that the
struggle for re-apportionment by
a vote of the legislature or by con-
stitutional amendment may be a
slow. agonlzing process. lasting for
