Reapportionment Dispute Faces House Leaders
The Philadelphia Public Ledger notes Speaker Longworth and Majority Leader Tilson push for a preferred status for the Fenn bill aimed at reapportionment based on the 1930 census. Michigan's McLeod calls for immediate reapportionment using the 1920 census, predicting seat shifts that would boost California, Ohio, and Michigan and reduce many other states. The piece argues the current apportionment, set 18 years ago, has deprived eight states of representation and urges action before adjournment to avoid injustice in the presidential contest.
