Reappprtionment Changes o (Continued From First Page) Tesentative Lozier sald applies, to an even greater degree, {o the reapportion- ment that is about to take place. I have rearranged the order of some of his sentences, for the sake of greater simplicity of understandin, . . . “It is inevitable that the agri- cultural States will have their represen- tation reduced in every succeeding ap- portionment until, in 25 or 50 years, the agricultural States will only have a nominal or negligible representation. If vou limit the membership of the House o 435, in 25 years from now the num- ber of Representatives from Towa would robably be reduced to five or six R be contended that the time will ever #sme when the great agricultural State of Towa would only be entitled to five or six Representatives? . . . You have adopted a formula which, within the | #ei 25 or 50 years, will reduce the rep- geeentation of Kansas, Jowa and of Ne- raska to five or six Congressmen and e representation of all other agricul- 2l States proportionately. ©ondition Goes Deeper. | % s not merely that States having | Ble cities will gain at the expense of | farming States. The condition goes | deeper. Within each State cities will | gain at the expense of rural districts. | As Representative Lozier puts it | “Under the present apportionment in Missourd, 4 of the 16 Congressmen repre- sent industrial and commercial commu- nities. Twelve of them represent agricul- tural comunities. In each census the pop- ulation of these commercial ana indus- trial centers is going to increse and ul- timately outrun the population of the agricultural communities, ‘With the membership limited to 435, it is only & question of a comparatively few years until the great cities will practically | monopolize the State's Representatives | in the House. The State will be carved | into districts to which perhaps & string of rural counties will be added, but the | population of the city will be largely in | excess of the country population, which | means that the cities will control the | nomination and election of the Repre- sentatives. This means that the rural | Oan | of the United States was once, about 890, 85 per cent of the whole. It had litical power in proportion. By 1800 it was down to 61 per cent. 1920 it was down to 49 per cent. Today it is about 44 per cent—and the downward trend is still under way. (The term “rural population” includes villages hav- ing a population up to 2,500. The lit- eral “farm” population is, of course, smaller.) Many persons think the movement from farm to city is undesirable. If so, the thing to do about it is not to try to avold its consequences by post- poning reapportionment. That is like trying to jockey the barometer instead of cure the fever. It is fair to say that many members of the House clear- sightedly and honestly refrained from blinding themselves to the facts and earnestly, though regretfully, lived up to their constitutional duties. “The rural communities,” said Representative John J. Cochran of Missouri, “have at present a representation in Congress to which they are not entitled. . Al- though it means not only my retirement as a member of this House, but also the loss of three or four members for my State, my vote will be cast for the bill.” Connection With Farm Relief. ‘To block and postpone reapportion- ment is not a cure. It is not even palli- ative. That deals only with symptoms arising after the disease is underway. But is it beyond the power of states- manship to find a cure that is a cure? Shall we assume that the drift from farm to city is an undesirable social condition. As to that, not all agree, But if this drift is undesirable, then impossible for statesmen to say, “We will pass legislation that will stop this drift?” If they adopt that as their purpose, is it impossible for them to find the legisiation that will stop the drift, or perhaps reserve it? The com- ing special session is supposed to enact farm relief. Will it be a true or effec- tive farm relief, if it fails to stop this drift, if it falls to make farming as Temunerative as city occupations? Of the total of human error, a very larse proportion is in the field where men assert a relation of cause and ef- fect.

By financing new enterprises at their birth, by taking a chance along with those industrial infants, as they waxed strong, so did the Mellons grow also. Putting the banking business of Pitts- | burgh at the service of its infant indus- try repaid its nurse a hundred fold. Steel and cars and cooking utensils and copper and its by-products and coal and lumber and paint and plate glass and other things grew up—and the Mellons grew with them.

Partisan Republicans had pounced on that incident in order to criticize Mr.| Hoover for not glving such & great office |as the Navy Secretaryship to some one with a more substantial record of regu- larity. But the probabilities are that Mr. Hoover never checked up that far on Mr. Adams. The new Chief Execu- tive knew what he wanted for the Navy Department and went out and got it. Secretary Adams has brought with him to Washington a charming lady, who will find in the social life nothing strange, for as & girl in her ’teens she was introduced to Washington soclety. | She was Miss Frances Lovering. the | | daughter of a stalwart Republican Con- | | gressman, William C.

Oh, yes, he neither drinks nor smokes. His only falling, his friends report, is that at times when the wind isn't quite right off Marblehead, or when some particu- lar piece of canvas sail doesn't seem to be doing its share of the work, he is apt to cuss a bit.

Fearlessness Wins. “Hey,” yelled George, “how long are You going to hold her up?” . “Till the water's up over your head,” yelled Charlie in reply, It wasn't quite as bad as that, but this utter disregard for safety and com- fort won the race for the Adamses. He established his superiority among America’s yachtsmen in the early Sum- mer of 1914, when he sailed the Resolute to victory in the races off Newport and thus earned the right to defend the America’s Cup, which Sir Thomas Lip- ton had again challenged. The stage was all ready for the meeting when the World War broke. Six years later the Resolute still retained her speed and accepted the challenge of the Shamrock IV. A nerve-wracking series of five races resulted, in which the famous old cup almost went back across the seas. Sir Thomas won the first two races, but Skipper Adams took the next two, and all depended on the fifth and deciding | I ha race.

A year or two later Charles Francis Adams engaged in a business trans- action with the American Navy, (he first and only one he had until he as-| sumed charge of the entire organization a short time ago. The famous old America, which won the original cup a decade and a half before Charlie Adams was born, was reconditioned at Boston and presented to the Naval Academy at Annapolis. As America's foremo: yachtsman, Adams took her down the coast and turned her over to the Navy at an elaborate ceremony. But the United States Government cannot ac- cept gifts, and Admiral Wilson handed over a crisp new $1 bill to the donor of the craft. Dollar Framed by Club. ‘The admiral made a graceful speech as he presented the greenback. Skipper Adams, in reply said “Thank you,” and stuffed the bill in his pocket. Neatly framed, that dollar now hangs in the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead. ‘The reader may get an idea, however, that this man Adams does nothing but sail yachts, and that Mr. Hoover has picked a sportsman rather than a busi- ness executive 1o run a plant worth se: eral billions of dollars.
