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
