MORE CONGRESSMEN.V ) /The total populnhon of the United States will . soon be announced ofl:cmlly, and then when' con- gress convenes in December it will set to work’on a new apportionment bill, regulating the member- ship of the, house of representatives in accordance with the new figures. - At present- there -is one representotlve allowed to a state forseach 211,000 of ‘population or major part thereof. If this same rate is retained, there Will have to be 65 or 66 representatives added for the increase of 14,000,000 or.so during the last ' decade. That would bring the total number - of reprenntntwes up to about 500. There is opposition to such an’ increase on. the part of some of the elder congressmen who hgve found themselves uncomfortably 'crowded 'and jostled in recent years.. It was found ‘necessary when the last batch of new members was admitted, after the 1910 census, to-take out the old, individual desks and seat the . members on long benchea. These Denches fill nearly all the space in the chamber: I any more members are admitted, the seat space . per member muut'be,mnde still:narrower. It is felt, too, by some of the, abler members of the house, ‘that that body would gain much in efficiency, ‘if its membership were reduced rather than enlarged. | Most outsiders familiar with con- gress and its mode -of operation agree with that. . It might be an excellent thing if the house could . be reduced to 300 members, as some congressmen would like to have it. There is little hope of any actual reduction.
