DECADE
Washington, July 27. Unless
membership pf the House is in-
oreased from 435 to at least 500
to meet the increased population
shown ; by the 1920 census, 10
states will lose one or more rep
resentativesaccording to Repre
motive Siegel, of New York,
chairman of the census committea
which will frame the new Appor
tionment Bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri,
which will lose two congressmen
each; and Illinois , Kentucky,
Maine, Maryland,; Nebraska, Ver
mont) and Virginia,, which will
lose one congressman each.
. Mr.Siegal explains that if the
House membership is retained at
its -present figure; it will be nec
essary to increase the population
basis in each congressional dis
trict beyorid the 211,000. or major
poTtion thereof now fixed. If
this is lone ;he says, the 10 states
nied will ; lose - one ' or more of , :
tngsistrict
their 'populations have not. in
creased ;iiv proportion to those of
other states.
On the basis of the estimated
population .of 106,000,000 for the v
whole country in 1920, an increase
of ;y approximately 14,000,000 in
10 years, Mr. Siegel says 65 or
66 new seats in the House must
, . ...,...
be "created if the 10 states are tro
retain their present " numerical
representation. -While precedent
warrants the increase, Mr. Siegal
declares there is strong opposition
to it pn the. part of some of tlie
present representativeswhile oth
ers favor deduction to as few an
300 members.
" Mr. .Siegel expects the work of
framing the, new apportionment
bill in accord with the new pop
ulation to begin with the recon
vening of Cogress in December
and he anticipates that the mea-
lire will be passed early in 192 1.
Every decade since 1790, with
the single exception of 1840, the
House membership has been en
larged to keep pace with1 the ,
growing population. Now the
Iouse floor is crowded when all
members are present ; seats nearly
fill the chamber; the old indi
vidual desks have been discarded
j arid an increase in. membership
probably - -will have to 'be solved
by narrowing the width of the
'seats. :
Ten years ago the House mem
bership was increased from ' 31
to 435 on the basis of a popula
tion of 91,972,266 -and; the only
eeption to such prAdure oc-
cured in 1840 when 10 congress
men were knocked out1 by. the
apportionment, the membership
being fixed at 232 after haying
been 242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept in-
j tact the numerical strength of all
ate delegations besides provid,
for riArtain increases, but
even then several congressional
districts fell short of the maxi
mum hasis of-211,CC0 population.-'
