Of each states Representatives
and the legislatures draw the new
boundaries. Trouble is, say the
critics, they often gyp big city
people when the do so.
Here the critics try to show that
even the legislatures are rugged"
Astually, most state legislatures
are modelled after Congress-one
house based on population and
the other on regional units like
counties or towns. A large city
that is "underrepresented" in the
state senate may run the house or
assembly. But such facts don't
keep critics from pointing to Inyo
County, Calf, where a single vote
for state senator is worth 296
votes in Los Angeles County.
Then they cite parts of the Con-
necticut countryside, where one
vote for a representative in the
State House may be worth 682
bag city ballots.
Those are isolated and extreme
cases. But this kind of criticism is
getting results.
All over America new boundary
lines are being drawn for state
legislative districts. In Alabama,
Colorado and Washington citizens
are voting on such proposals. Hot
court cases this year have tested
reapportionment laws in Utah,
Florida and Illinois. The COVER
nors of New Jersey, New York
and Rhode Island are all calling
for reapportionment in their leg
islatures.
In the last session of Congress,
four bills were introduced to set
up a Department of Urban Affairs
with a Secretary of Cabinet rank.
Just as the USDA works with
farmers, the new Department of
Urbiculture" would watch out
for 'America's great and neglect
ed cities" Another bill would re
Quire Federal courts to order re-
apportionment at House districts.
What is the truth about the
fairness or unfairness of political
power? Just this:
Today some 90 million Amer
leans live in communities of less
than $4,000 population. That's $50
of all Americans. Obviously it's
fair for these people to have a
working majority in our law max
ing system.
The question is whether $50 of
our people should control more
than $50 of our lawmaking ma
chinery.
Let's look more closely at the
House of Representatives. In the
SIX years since the last census, the
population has increased by Is
million and moved around, too.
Obviously, then, some districts are
unfairly represented and leg
islators in some states have de-
layed reapportionment to hang
on to their own jobs.
But handing a few more Con-
gressional seats to the biggest
cities probably won't cut the
countryside political power much.
For even after the fairest reap
portionment, hundreds of middle
sized cities will still be islands
in the middle of Countryside dis
-outnumbered by town and
farm areas.
Spokane, Wash, for example,
has $4,000 citizens-but 204, 800
people live on farms and in small
er communities of that Congress
sional district The boundary lines
are fair; the total population al
most ideal. Yet Spokane residents
are outnumbered and can be out
voted. So are the people in Mobile,
Ala; Savannah, Ca; Proenix.
Ariz.; Sacramento, Calf; L .s,.s
City, Kan. In all. some 49 cities
with more than 100000 population
and 3l3 other cities over $4,000
are swallowed up by the smaller
communities and farm areas
around them. These people, is

Why towns like
yours will
win the election

landers so to speak in the Coun-
tryside Ocean, represent 1870 of
our U. S, Population.
Even now, the average Congress
sional district dominated by
smaller communities is not far
out Of line with the average in
metropolitan centers. Experts say
a automatically ideal district
would have about 1000 popula-
ton, and today the 275 Country
side districts average just 1870
short of this ideal.
Is 1870 difference an unfair
edge?
Well, the reapportionment com
ymittee of the American Political
Science Association says that a
15% deviation from the national
average is both reasonable and
necessary for fleXibility.
Assuming. then. that voters in
towns Like yours will win the
election IF they vote), just what
kind of citizens are they?
They're more interested than
big city people. Some opinion
pollsters say they get 800 greater
returns from towns and farms
than from big cities. But that's
only one indication.
Compare Countryside voters
with those in Detroit. In a recent
election, one polling place got the
wrong ballots - candidates were
those for another ward-but not
one of 203 voters noticed the diff
ference! Judges found the mis-
take when they counted the bal
lots.
Could this happen in your
town?
Well, cities are up against this
apathy all the time. Says DR.. Arch
Dotson of Cornell: ''Urbanite and
suburbanite are likely to have a
sense of futility and Illustration
about political participation"
They get lost in the big popula-
ton turnover. Then there's h e
problem of foreign immigrants
(212 million since World War ID
who aren't yet prepared to vote or
take part in government.
What else differenfiates h e
Countryside voter? He's more
ccnssrvative-even when it hurts.
Congressional Cecil M Har-
den of Indiana mailed $4,000 ques-
tionnaires to people in her district
Did they favor President Eisen-
hower's policy of debt retirement
or did they want a tax cut
now" People in Terre Haute
(pop. $4,000 endorsed the Presi-
dents policy by firm Az to one.
But voters in the smaller towns
went further: They opposed tax
cut for themselves by solid 8 to
one. Conservatives aren't the
same as pocketbook voters.
These differences have a nation
al significance. People in the
small u. S.. communities don't
vote as a bloc on any issue. But
standings of opinion make them
selves felt. It's natural for them
| to look at economic issue differ
emily from big city people. They
are more likely to be hometown
ers than renters, self-employed
than employees. Maybe they are
| less conditioned to Government
controls. The lawmaker who rep
resents a Countryside majority
listens little more carefully to
them than to city pressure groups.
| The Countryside has a strong re-
straining influence within both
political parties. Except for hot
partisan issues, Countryside mem
bers Of Congress usually take the
side of caution.
What about the relative hon

Well, Countryside people prob
ably are no more hoonest than
anyone else, but they can't get
away with as much.

is likely to be modelled after the
