LIVE QUESTION
—
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—Shall the
representatives be increased?
This question has arisen in Conner-,
tion with preliminaries that are now
being made to take the fourteenth cen
sus of the United States in 1920.
The next census is certain to show
an increase of many millions of peo
ple in the United States .is compared
with the census of 1910. Therefore
one of two things must be done—
the unit of congressional representa
tion must be enlarged and each mem j
her of the house must represent more1
folks in congress or the total number j
of members of the lower branch of
congress must be largely increased.
Representative Harvey Helm of Ken
tucky. chairman of the committee on!
the census, in which all legislation
affecting the apportionment of repre
sentatives must originate, said:
“1 am opposed—-uncompromisingly
opposed—to any increase in the mem
bership of the house of representa
i tlves. It now has 435 members, and
that is too many. While I realize the
difficulties in the way of bringing
about a reduction in the membership
of the house, which would be accom
: plished only by legislating some of
the members out of office, I do feel
that the house never should have been
; made as large as it is today. It is too
large and unwieldy to transact the
\ public business satisfactorily. There
w ill be no increase in the house fol
lowing the next census except over my
most vigorous opposition.”
Many members feel about it just as
Chairman Helm does, and yet it is rec.
ognized that there will be a terrible
demand from many states to increase
their representation in the house, on
the theory that by so doing they will
: Increase their prestige in the halls ot'(
legislation.
There are certain possibilities of.
sectional controversy in the situation.
If the unit of representation remainsj
as it is now the increase of member j
ship of the house will fall largely to
states of the North, and especially to
the industrial sections where the in
1 crease of population has been the
greatest during the last ten
Very few Southern states would share
In the increase, and this would serve
to enhance the power of the North
; in congress.
Apportionment Since 1790
The first apportionment under the
United States constitution created a
house of representatives of 65 mem
bers, and the house has grown with
| successive censuses as follows:
First census, 1790—106 members,
i Second census, 1800—142 members.'
Third census. 1810—186 members.
Fourth census, 1820—213 members.
Fifth census, 1830—242 members.
Sixth census, 1840—232 members.
Seventh census, 1850—237 members.
Eighth census, 1860—243 members.
Ninth census, 1870—293 members.
Tenth census, 1880—332 members.
Eleventh census, 1890—358 members
Twelfth census, 1900—391 members.
Thirteenth census, 1910—435 mem
bers.
It will be observed that the growth'
of membership has been steady since 11
the government was founded except!
in 1840, when there was a setback.
Chairman Helms of the census com !
mittee is now preparing the bills nec
essary to provide for taking the four
teenth decennial census—the most
l
mammoth census undertaking ever at
tempted in any country. He estimates
that it will cost $15,000,000 to take the
forthcoming census, and that between
70,000 and 80,000 persons will be ern
nloved. A neriod of three veare will
be allowed within which to do the|
work, beginning July 1, 1919, and end-j
ing July 1, 1922. An army of clerk®!
will be required, but most of the em-|
ployes will be enumerators whose com.j
pensation will be based on the num
ber of persons enumerated by each
The actual field work of taking the
census will begin in January, 1920,
instead of in April, as has been the
case in former census years.
