It hasn't told us the mn-hr.of cal-- . Under the Constitution of the United States it is manda-- tory upon congress to reapportion the representation of the states in congress after every decennial census. For some reason, not fifficult to guess, congress has failed to obey this constitutional provision. As a result equal representation no longer exists. Congress can offer no valid excuse for refusing reappor-- tionment at this already tardy hour, nor for increasing the membership of the house merely to spare the sixteen states the loss of twenty--four rcpreoen'utx;re; nowadays: Rip did wake up. furarioink Rinare e otien take a straw vote on it? Rip Van Winkle "didn't d kind --of stuff mu DELAYING REAPPORTIONMENT The subject of reapportionment of representation in the house is again before congress after several years of dilly-- dallying which has postponed the time when equal representa-- tion &mong the states will be'restored. _' | The Fenn bill, now before congress, provides that the num-- ber of representatives after the third day of March, 1933, shall be the same as now--435--and that as soon as possible after the next and each decennial census, it shall be the duty of the secretary of commerce to apportion 435 representatives among the states by the method of "major fractions," whereby the representatives of each unit and each major fraction of a unit when added shall equal 435. ' This plan means that twelve states would in the aggrentel gain twenty--four representatives in congress which would be taken from sixteen other states. The states that would gain' have earned in through increase in population.

The awarding of rowd contracts is The decision of Congress that the three cruisers authorized last year for the American navy, be built without delay, is in consonance with public opinion, which has been considerably disgusted with the controversy arising over the question--with England having fifty--four built and building, Japan having 25 and the United States but 15. It would remove these prerogatives in the prosecution of criminals from the confines of the county to those of the state under a centralized and efficient form of business--like admini-- stration, and, because of this feature, has much to recommend it. There is, of course, always the danger of politicial "trading" with such a system, but perhaps it would be no more menacing than is the present occasional manipulation of grand juries, and at least it would be quicker. The plan deserves very thorough consideration. The first and most important feature of his reform would be the elimination of grand juries and the substitution of a system of informations by prosecuting attorneys, founded upon investigation. He would have these officials in each county under the control of the state Attorney--General, with a state Department of Justice in supreme charge of all prosecution work, a state detective service and a state constabulary. That court procedure is terribly antiquated and overlaid with forms and time--honored delays cannot be questioned and Chief Justice Taft, after a thorough examination of the situa-- tion, declares that the grand jury is a flagrant offender against justice and its expeditious accomplishment. It has needed the present crime wave that is sweeping the nation to persuade the Chief Justice to break his silence and to advocate what seems to him to be essential reforms in the criminal law. ABOLISH GRAND JURIES No less a personage than Chief Justice William Howard Taft, of the United States Supreme .court, has:'advocated a change in the judicial system that deserves more than passing notice, inasmuch as its aim is the speeding up of trial work, now so hopelessly slow in comparison with--the speed of the Entered as second--class matter October 18, 1916, at the office at mmu-umama.'x'm."x--umm.
