THESE DAYS
--BY
GEORGE E. SUKCLSKY
THE SHIFT IN POPULATION
The 1950 census shows changes
in the American population that
are likely to have important effects
upon the politics of the country.
Whenever a shift in population
occurs, it is indicative of new de
j velopments in industry and of sec
I tional importance.
Such states as North Dakota,
; Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
j Mississippi show a decrease in
I population. The largest increase
is California, with Arizona, Florida
and Nevada following. Apparently,
climate has something to do with
these changes as well as the move
ment of industry. California shows
51.6 per cent increase over 1940.
It is becoming one of our leading
manufacturing as well as agricul
tural states.
The population of the country
has doubled since 1900. The three
largest states, on the basis of
population, are, in this order. New
York, California and Pennsylvania.
Together, these three states have
a population of 35,651,000 of a total |
of 150,000.000. In 1900, these three
states had an aggregate population
of 15,055,000 persons. But this fact
is also interesting, that whereas
California now has a population
of 10,472,000 persons, in 1900 the
figures for that state showed only
1,485,000. While the population of
the country doubled in the past
fifty years, California increased
more than seven times.
The House of Representatives is
elected on the basis of population;
!he states, therefore, that have in
creased populations are likely to
get more seats. Public Law 291,
signed in 1941, at present controls
the system of appointment, but
that does not necessarily mean ■
that when Congress comes to deal
with the subject, say in 1951 or
1952, it will not adopt a new law.
It is likely, however, that the
total number of members will not
be increased, but that some states
will gain and some will lose.
As it stands now, New York has
45 seats, California 23, and Pennsyl
vania 33, making a total of 101
seats out of 435.
The Pacific states show the
greatest increases in population;
California 51.6 per cent; Washing
ton 38 per cent; Oregon 38.6 per
cent. While the Atlantic coast
states show no decreases, New
England produced nothing start
ling in the past decade.
Maine shows an increase of 7.1
per cent; New Hampshire 7.8 per
cent; Vennont 4.6 per cent; Mass
achusetts 9.2 per cent; Connecticut
16.7 per cent; Rhode Island 10.2
per cent.
(Unless otherwise specified, the
comparisons are between 1940 and
1950.1
The comparison wrould seem to
indicate a movement westward,
away from the older states and the '
cider traditions of life. With the !
exception of Florida, none of the!
southern states show a large in
crease, the highest being Mary
land with 27.5 per cent.
The middle west and sou'h are
the only areas which show a de
crease, but Michigan, Ohio, Indi
ana and Illinois do show an in
crease, with Michigan leading. In
the middle west, it is clearer than
anywhere else, that the half-cen
tury shift of the population from
rural to urban centers continues
to be pronounced.
The political shift becomes im
portant not only in relationship to
the House of Representatives but
also in the vote in the electoral
college which elects the President.
This body equals the number of
senators plus representatives; that
is, New York state has 45 repre
sentatives and 2 senators; there
fore, it has 47 votes in the electoral
college. The middle west may
lose votes. In the south, Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi might lose
seats in the House of Represent
atives, while Florida will undoubt
edly gain.
The shift in population moves an
increasingly large number of citiz
ens away from the eastern sea
board and makes them more dis
tant from Washington. In 1900,
the mountain and Pacific states
had a total population of 4,091,000;
in 1950; these same spates snow a
population of 19,384,000. In 1900,
the west south central states, which
include Arkansas, Louisiana, Okla
homa, and Texas showed a popu
lation of 6,532,000; in 1950, these
same states show 14,476,000.
For purposes of comparison, in
1900, New England’s population was
5,592,000; this year, it is 9,306,000.
The movement is definitely west
ward, with whatever alterations
that means in the habits of life
and thinking of the people. Cer
tainly, westerners are less con
scious of European attitudes than
those whose traditions are based
on New England or Virginia. Such
a trend is never immediately
measurable, but it does, in time,
alter the political complexion of a
country. Horace Greeley's "Go
West!” slogan is bearing rich fruit.
