One source of semi-satisfaction is the fact that many other states are in the same boat. Tennessee presently has a case pending before the United States Supreme Court as to whether or not the state apportionment act of 1901 is legal or not. Other states frequently bring up and muffle the same question. It is an interesting question, and concrete arguments on both sides of the fence can be raised. It is not so much a question of who is right and who is wrong, but which right is the Tightest. Apportionment in Indiana is to be done every six years, according to the Constitution of the state, and state representatives should be rearranged accordingly with the shifts in population. The last time this was done in the Hoosier state was forty yeans ago, in 1921. One school of thought is that since this is a part of the state constitution, it should be followed. Presently, eleven counties — Marion, Lake, Allen, St. Joseph, Vanderburgh, Madison, Delaware, Vigo, Elkhart, LaPorte and Tippecanoe — contain about 53 per cent of the state’s population. Yet, these same eleven counties are represented by only 35 per cent of the state’s legislators. They should have, according to the state Constitution, about 53 per cent of the state legislators. Opposing these arguments are some that were presented many years ago by James W. Borden, a Whig representative from Adams, Allen and Wells county. Mr. x Borden said: “...unless some measures are taken to prevent it, there is reason to fear that the capital and moneyed influence of the state will govern its legislation. And, sir, 1 object to this system further, on the ground that it gives to the members when assembled at the Capital, from the large counties, a decided advantage. Inasmuch as the same influence elected them all, they usually act in concert on all questions coming before the body of which they are members.” Those who favor reapportionment strangely argue that some districts of the state are undergoing taxation without representation. This is an exaggeration. It can not be denied that, despite the fact that each representative is supposed to represent the same number of people, in actual practice, some men represent at least five times more people than others. But, those opposed to reapportionment validly argue that it is unfair to minority interests, a carefully nurtured group in a democracy, to have a small area of the state control the state legislature. The answer must be found in the courts. It must be determined if regular apportionment is Constitutional. If so, then it should be done. If not, then the sections should be repealed from the state Constitution, and other representation codes installed. iditorial Writer Today John G. Heller

FALSE TEETH That Loosen Need Not Embarrass Many wearers of false teeth have suffered rtal embarrassment because their plate dropped, slipped or wobbled at just the wrong time. Do not live in fear of this happenlngtoyqu. Just sprinkle a little FABTEETH, the alkaline (non-acid) powder, on your plates. Hold false teeth more firmly, so they feel more comfortable. Does not sour. Checks "plate odor” (denture breath). Get FASTEETH at any drug counter.
