NEW APPORTIONMENT
~ CONGRESS MEMBERS
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN SAYS
NO STATE WILL LOSE MEM
. BER. GEORGIA GAINS ONE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A gain of
one in Georgia’s representation in the
‘national house of representatives be
came practically assured when Mr.
Isaac Seigel, chairman of the house
census committee, said he expected
approval of his program for an increase
in the membership of the lower body
of congress from 435 to 482 members.
Representative Seigel spoke follow
ing action of the republican caucus.
The caucus voted for an increased
membership of the house, leaving the
details to the committee headed by
Mr. Seigel. This is believed to make
certain a house of 483 members under
the 1920 census.
Representative Seigel urges that a
house of 483 ‘members will not cause
any state to lose a member. A house
of 481 members, for instance, would
cause Maine and Missouri to lose one
member each .and neither state will
stand for it. Therefore Mr. Seigel is
following the line of least resistance
and is framing a bill to provide for a
house of 483 members under which
various states would gain and no state
lose. |
Under such a bill, for example, Cal
ifornia would gain five new members;
Illinois, three; Massachusetts, two;
Michigan, four; New Jersey, two; New
York, four; North Carolina, two;
Ohio, four; Pennsylvania, four; Tex
as, three; Georgia, Maryland, Minne
sota, New Mexico and Oklahoma one,
and so on.
Representative Seigel stated that he
was confident his reapportionment
program would go through because
of the action of the republican caucus.
He intends to call a meeting of the
census committee on Monday to begin
the draft of a reapportionment bill
carrying out his ideas.
Vote Down Proposal to Reduce the
South’s Representation.
At the same time the republican
caucus voted down a proposal of Rep
resentative Tinkham of Massachusetts
to reduce the representation of the
southern states because of their al
leged disfranchisement of the negro.
The caucus vote is said to have hccn‘
95 to 42.
Representative Tinkham’s demand
that the south’s representation be cut
did not set well with the republicans
because of their recent inroads in Ten
ncssee and Oklahoma. It is not time.
The Tinkham opposition, it was argued
would stir up sectional troubles where
the G. O. P. is making inroads in the
south by letting the negro question
alone.
Nevertheless, the republicans and
sectionalists win a southerp reduction
victory in the Seigel bill, but they ad
minister the dose in capsule form. Un
der the reapportionment program sug
‘gested by Chairman Seigel approxi
mately thirty new seats will go to the |
normally republican states. Out of 48
new seats, therefore, the so-called re
publican states will get thirty or more,
leaving to the solid south the remain
der of the increase.

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
pural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was Dr.
Pierce, who afterwards estab
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y.,
and placed one of his preseriptions,
which he called’ “Golden Medical
Discovery,”” in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lic could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonie, corrective and
blsod -maker. Dr. Pierce manu
factured this ‘‘Discovery’’ from
roots and barks—a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this ‘“‘Golden Medical Discovery”’
for the stomach, liver- and heart.
Over twenty-four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

To keep these poisons and toxins
