INDIANA BREAKS OWN LAW; STATE SHOULD BE RE-DISTRICTED The fight being waged in Illinois by progressive elements of the citizenry to get the state re-districted, calls attention . both to the similar need in this state, and to the similar difficulties which such a move would encounter here. ... When reactionary elements in Illinois including certain Republican congressmen successfully opposed the issue, the matter was taken to the Federal courts, with the idea of forcing state action. The Federal court decis;on, rendered last week, was that it was a matter for the state to decide, and that the Federal government had no jurisdictional right to interfere. The same thing would be true in Indiana. But it is a fact that it has been 25 years since th's state was re-districted, whereas the state constitution declares that voters must be enumerated for this purpose every six years. Tor eighteen of those 25 years, therefore, the state of Indiana has been breaking its own law, as established in its own state constitution. ' As the Indianapolis Times said in a recent editorial, "The result of this failure has been to deprive the citizens of many communities, including Marion county, of the representation to which-they would be entitled if the enumeration were made as provided by law and a reapportionment of legislative districts were . made." ' It is, of course, the question of majority representation m the state legislature that

tne state s industrial counties, including Lake, Marion and St. Joseph counties have grown enormously in the past few years. A re-districting would give them more adequate representation. Rural counties, however, oppose the re-districting because they would lose power by it. For.the same reason, although the Democratic . party favored 're-districting while it was in power, the Republican party, now in power, shows no disposition to make any change. From a political standpoint, this is understandable, because the Republicans are quite satisfied with things as they are." The principal difficulty, however, has always been that members of the state legislature have consistently been unwilling to 'vote funds lor the enumeration of voters on "which the nnlistricting would have to be based; and without funds, it cannot be done; St voter-census must be done by the state governThis is something on which the voters themselves should take the initiative. They should impress upon their legislative. representatives the necessity for action. Those counties which are inadequately represented should be especially vocal in their demand.
