CONSIDER APPOR TIONMENT PROBLEM Give Communities in That Part of State Best of It When It Comes to Membership in House. ! The house committee of thirteen that has been busying itself making a reapportionment of the state for the lower house of the future is work ing on a tenative layout, and will report it to that body for debate and decision. Although the eastern and central sections have a majority on the committee, the report as decided on distinctly favors the western part. There has been some talk of a bill that will reduce the membership ol the house from 100 to seventy-five and that of the senate from thirty three to twenty-five, but this has not yet taken form.., If it does it maj bo used largely as a counter attacl on a plan of the senate to increase its membership to fifty, as the new constitution provides. With a house of 100 members it means one representative for every 12.955 persons, whereas the exislinj ratio is one to every 11.922. Unde thi.-: ratio Douglas would get fifteer instead of twelve, iind Lancaster se en instead of six. But the aliens don't count in Nebraska, and unti these figures are ascertained it is no' certain Douglas should have thre more. At any rate the committee is no planning to give her three, but tc keep her and Lancaster as they nov are and give the left-overs to th western part. In planning the nev apportionment the committee seek; to get away from the float proposi tion that has prevailed for man.' years. A float is where a county tha' has one or two representatives is giv en a share with one or more othe: counties in a representative electee' from them as a district. In order to do this it is necessary to adopt the major fraction basis. That is to givt a county or a district that does no' have enough for one or for two, but which can present a population rep resenting the major fraction of th number used as a divisor. Thus some counties with 9.000 pin? gets one representative where tlu larger counties are based on a 12,95t representation. In this tentative layout Box Butte is taken from Sheridan and attaehet to Sioux. Kimball and Cheyenne, where con siderable growth in population, an given one representative, where they now divide with Garden. Banner ant" Deuel. Banner and Morrill are linked as one, the latter being detached from Scottsbluff. Loup. Grant. Hooker, Thomas Blaine. Logan. McPherson. and Ar thur, each of which have betwoei 1,000 and 2.000 population, are madi into one. Garden, Deuel and Keith are linkc as one, Keith being taken from Lin coln and Dawson. Perkins. Chase and Dundy ar made into one, Hayes being take! from the two first-named and attach ed to Hitchcock, which now share cne representative with Dundy. Frontier and Gosper are allov.-C' to remain as now. Greeley and Wheeler are to share one representative. Garfield, whicl is now their partner in a legislator is attached to Valley, which boasts of one all by itself. Rock. Keya Paha and Brown an linked together as now. Douglas county gets 12, Lancaster 6. Hall 2, Adams 2, Gage 2. Saun ders 2. Dodge 2, Madison 2. Otoe 2 Scottsbluff 2. Lincoln 2.
