Reason for size of the house  I came here knowing that NH had a very large house relative to population  I was wanting  the reason for the anomaly  Is is a constitutional requirement that no Representative represent more than  people from way back when they were ruled by the British or is it a philosophy that the Representatives should be as close to the people as possible  Also not completely unrelated is the question of salaries of the Representatives  Is the stipend for the  significantly different from other state legislature representatives  Is there a large gap between backbenchers and those in management positions  I suppose Ill start doing a bit of research on my own and when I find it Ill post it however if there is anyone in the know Id appreciate seeing it before I spend too much time on my quest  CRB
