GAINS AND LOSSES
While the approximate gains and losses of the
various states in the number of their Representatives
in Congress as a result of the new apportionment law
have been known for some time, the official figures
based on the 1930 census were made public just recently
having reached The Gateway in this mail.
The Constitution provides that an adjustment of
representation shall be made every ten years, but Con
gress failed to perform that duty in 1920, as a result of
the refusal of representatives of slower growing states
to support a reapportionment bill.
But last year a law was passed providing that a re
apportionment should be made, but that the present
number of 435 Representatives should not be increased.
The new census reveals that under this plan there must
be only one Representative for each 280,000 of popula
tion, whereas the former basis was one for each 211,000
On the new basis those states affected by this change
will gain or lose as follows:
Gains in Representatives: California 9, Michigan
4, Texas 3, New Jersey, New York and Ohio, 2 each
Connecticut, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma and
Washington 1 each.
Losses in Representatives: Missouri 3, Georgia,
Jowa, Kentucky and Pennsylvania 2 each; Alabama, In
diana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Miss
issippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota. Tennesssee, Vermont, \ irgin
ia, and Wisconsin 1 each.
Thus 32 states are affected by the new deal, 11
states gaining and 21 losing in the number of Con
gressmen. Thee legislatures concerned must now redis
trict the affected states to confirm with the new ar
rangement.
And there will be plenty of legislative wrangling
before this adjustment is accomplished.
The dog heroes of the diphtheria epidemic at
Nome in 1925, are recalled by the recent placing of the
mounted skin of one of them in Pabody Museum at
Yale. It is that of Togo, leader of the little steeds oi
the North that earned diptheria serum to relieve the
stricken community. Another of these famous dogs
Balto, is commemorated by a bronze statue.
