The present Georgia system of ap

noon that he dots not feel disposed ^oVgi. ,n a tture atthe un^ers
to use federal troops In the Tug river
, section on the Kentucky-West Vir
ginia border until he is more definitely
confident that the state farces have
exhausted all their resources.
Decision to this effect was reached
after Secretary Weeks held several
conferences and the subject had lioen
, discusnsd at a regular cabinet meet
ing.
Secretary Weeks reiterated today
that the federal government was not
disposed to employ federal troops
except as a last resort. Kentucky has
state troops, he said, and although
Wear Virginia has none she has. with
Kentucky, a number of special offi
cers on the scene.
He also declared reports to the de
partment indicate the situation Is
quieter. Attorney General Dougherty,
who conferred with M’eeks, said if the
trouble continued to any great extent
the federal government would be'Jus
tified In taking a hand, and while re
ports to his department said the situa
tion was serious, he sail they showed
Inly six or *e)-en killed, much less
than other reports.
Those cansing tire trouble, he said,
: are qqt West Virginians, but prob
ably professional agitators from Colo
rado, Alabama and other states.
One serious aspect, he said, Is the
Interference with malls due to the de
lay'of trains and suggested that p

Two-Day Session of Knights
and Pythian Sisters Con
venes Today.
ity yesterday morning. Dr. McPher-
gen advised changes in the method of
selecting representatives.
"According to the modern democra
tic theory of equality,, the represen
tatives In the state legislature should
be apportioned among districts con
taining substantially an equal num
ber of Inhabitants.'' said Dr. McPher
son. "It Is pot Talr that Atlanta and
Fulton county with her 250,000 Inhabi
tants shall have - no more represen
tatives In our legislature than, any,
three small counties In some undevel
oped part of the state with no more
than. 15,000 population (pr the three
counties—yet such Is the case as it
now prevkns in Georgia," continued
Dr. McPherson'.
"With every legislature that meets
creating new counties, and each of
the counties getting a representative,
Georgia can not expect Just and eqult,
able representation. Furthermore all
these newly created counties are bur
dens to the stafe financially. Georgia
already has too many counties-and it
does seem that the people would see
this and put an end to this business of
creating counties where there Is abso
lutely no need or cause for them.'
It Is Dr. McPherson's Idea that rep
resentation in both bouses of the Geor
gia legislature should be based upon
some division of the number of inhab
itants in the states, rather than upon
tho present geographical divisions. Ho
would not. however, discriminate
against the .rural district In favor of
the cities, but Instead suggests (hat
nojllBtWct—by whatever boundary It
shall be fixed—shall have more than a
certain percentage of the entjrp num-
•sttrmnmf ra Ne*Toi*,
for; Instance, it -ia;provlded that no
county, no matter bow populous, shall
have more than One-third of all. the
senators. “Is it fair that a man. Just
because he happens to live In a city,
have less political rights ' from the
standpoint of representatives than the
man who lives In some pparccly set
tled section of the state?" asked Dr.
McPherson. "Such Is the case In
Ceorgla and mapy other states today.
"No state cart, prosper with the
smaller.counties over-represented and
the more populous und'dr-representod.
There must be a remdy for such a
condition and I feel sure that the leg
islature when It assembles In June
enn work out each a remedy. It Is
for the best interests of tbe state that
this condition be attended to and ,
