, . REAPPORTIONMENT
I
SHOULD BE MADE?
IT PROBABLY WILL
AT NEXT ASSEMBLY
Abbeville, Feb. 5?'There is considerable
pother in the press of c
Western North Carolina oyer the j
question of reapportionment of ]
the membership of the General j
Assembly. r
It is well that this matter bei c
discussed now and the people! x
thoronchlv understand the situ-1
ation.
There is nothing new about
this question, when it is considered
in all its ramifications. In; fact
it is almost as old as tforth Carolina.
Did you ever study a map of
the State and observe the shoestring
counties, down east that
consist largely of water and a
narrow Strip of land, and wonder
how "this came about? As the
population of the State began to
surge westward, necessitating the
creation of new counties in the
west, the east, which then held
and still holds the most votes in
both houses of the Assembly .did
not intend to relinquish power
that goes with the majority of
votes. So every time a new county
had to be made in the west, a
new one was also created in the
east; and the voting majority in
the Assembly remained in the
east; regardless of what political
party or faction held the whip
hand in the State. c
This condition existed up to r
the time of the taking of the _
census of 1930. The population, t
the wealth, the votes in general v
elections and primaries had all g
shifted to the west; but the east t
ofm ViolH fho mnirrrltv in the
OVU1 l??v n.. .i.j I ^
General Assembly. The Constitu- ^
tion said that the membership c
should be reapportioned after ev- ?
ery decennial census, upon the t
basis of population. But, the reapportionment
had to be made
by thb General Assembly. There .
an^reapjw J
was renewed; and there was at1
great scirap, with fireworks; and r
the east won again, with the help
of some western votes. That year,
the Jackson representative, Mr. J
Tompkins, was a first-termer in '
the House, and he voted and
worked for reapportionment, as
J n?iA*r,v, will siih
W10 rCl/UIU XXX xvaici^ui Tf MA www .
stantiate. ] ?
In 1937 the fight was on again, J
and the east again won, with the
help of some western votes, including
that of Jackson and one ?
adjoining county. The western
Republicans, take them by and J
large, v^ere provoked with their J
Democratic neighbors from the
same part of the State, and most e
of them voted with the east, as 2
did a few western Democrats.
In 1939, every leader of the As- .
sembly, regardless of what section
of the state he came from, J
agreed that it would be useless
and foolish to make the fight all c
over again, with another census
just a year away. But, everybody
agreed that the matter will come J
up for a finish fight in the Gen- *
eral Assembly of 1941. There are *
enough members, or probably
will be, from the east, who recog- 1
nize the righteousness of the c
cause, and their duty to obey the 1
Constitution,, to effect the reapportionment
of both House and T
Senate, at the 1941 session?pro- c
vided the west will Vote as a unit )
on this important matter. . >
It will be of no direct benefit to *
small counties in the west, like ]
Tontenn for example, for we will
U ?,.
have but one Representative j
anyway. But, it'will be an indi- f
rect benefit, in that our section of {
the State will have the repre- ,
sentation that it is entitled to ,
have, under the Constitution, i
Buncombe will probably pick up ,
an additional representative, as j
will Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Gas- j
ton, and perhaps one or two oth- f,
er western counties. And, every j
representative that is reappor- ,
tioned to the west will take a j 1
j representative^ away from an j
I eastern county. Johnston, New
j Hanover, Rockingham, Nash, and
some other eastern counties will ,
probably be the ones to lose rep- ,
resentation. ' i
But, the west does the voting ,
in the elections, pays the larger <
part of the. bills, and has the ,
population. The last is the thing
upon which the Constitution
says representation shall be based,
each county having not less
'than one representative in the

Is that the East has maintained a *
policy of returning the same men (

they are experienced in the arts (
of legislative procedure, and hold
that prestige which experience
and long service give to any man. <
The western counties, on the
