WEST AND SOUTH TO | GAIN’ POLITICALLY Census Figures Indicate Sub- stantial Gain In Represen- tation In Congress. Washington.—Examination of the | final census figures of the country, which place the total population of | Me continental United States at 15,- | 683,108, indicates that the west and the south proportionately will gain more | in a political way than the east or | middle west through increased mem- | bership in the house of representatives, more votes in the electoral college and jin larger delegations to the national | Political conventions. | Asa result of the increase of 13,710,- | 842 in population during the past ten | Years, 50 new seats could be added to the house. Should the present member- | ship of 435 be left unchanged by in- | creasing the basis of apportionment | there will have to be a transfer of 13 | Seals, now held by 12 states, to nine | other states. For the last half century the prece- }dent has been to Increase the size of | (he house so as to prevent loss of exist- | | ing representation by any state. If this precedent is followed this year, five additional representative | seats must be given to California, four jeach to New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan; three to Illinois and | Texas; two to Massachusetts, New Jersey an@ North Carolina, and one leach to Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, |Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New | | Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Car- jolina, Tennessee, Washington, West | Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginia, Arkan- | }sas and Minnesota. Congressional leaders are strongly | lopposed to any larger increase in the | | house, as they regafd the present |membership of 435 as too unwieldy. |The present apportionment basis is | } 211,877 inhabitants, or {ts major frac- tion, to the congressional district. By hdlding the house membership to 435, gains would be distributed with three to California, two to Michigan and Ohio, and one each to Connecticut, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklaho- ma, Texas and Washington. To offset these gains, Missouri would be forced to lose two representatives, while In- | diana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentuckf, Louis- fana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, |Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia j Would lose one each. All other states | would retain their present numerical |delegation in congress. APPARENT ERROR IN _ RATE RAISE CHARGED Topeka, Kan.—An assertion that the interstate commerce commission made @n apparent error of $192,853,696 in the | calculation upon which it fixed the freight rate increase on western roads | to give the roads a 6 per cent return jwas made in an opinion granting a modified 30 per cent increase in Kansas intrastate rates by the Kansas court of industrial relations, handed down here. “The error is of such magnitude as challenge attention,” the opinion stated, “and brings up for consideration whether the basis used in the analysis is correct. It may be said here that the identical analysis applied to other |groups show a result within a frac- tion of 1 per cent of the rate increase ordered by the interstate commerce commission.” to WOOL MEN GET $460,000 Excees Profits Avaliable for Distribu- tlon to Producers. Washington.—Through closing up the government's wartime operations in the wool market the department of agriculture reported $460,000 has be- come available for distrSpution to some 100,000 producers who grew the 1918 clip.
