INGRAHAM, District Judge
(concurring specially).
I join in the court’s opinion and the result but add this for emphasis.
We can expostulate about economic and cultural interests, ethnic groups, language,* acreage, scenery and the like until the world looks level. Such considerations extend across county, district, state and national boundaries. They offer no guidelines. They confuse, delay and avoid. Have we come to a denial, have we come to a breach of the Great Compromise, which has served us so long and so well, by which representation in the House of Representatives was to be based on population and representation in the Senate to be divided equally among the States.

 There is but one official language in Texas and the Nation, although some of our scholarly friends speak more.
