New Census May Increase House Membership in 1920
Special to The Northwestern reports Representative Siegel of New York chairs the census committee studying the 1920 census to prepare a bill that could raise House membership from 435 to about 500. A rise followed each census since 1790 except 1840, when the Senate forced a drop. If the House grows, ten states face losing seats. without growth, districts would average about 245,000 people, increasing workload for many members. The plan faces political and economic questions and likely postponement past the next election.
