among th members, and some dissatis
faction la expressed' 1 ' several ease
where county representation 1 cut down
by the hew figures. Th claim 1 also
mad that Multnomah county 1 receiv
ing more than It share by th granting
of IT house member and eight sena
tors. ;-
In support ef th bill presented,
Charles B. Lock wood, who drafted them,
argue that they follow th letter and
spirit of th constitution atrlctly and
that no wrong haa been don to any one
or any eounty by hi figure. --
In support of hi contention Mr. Lock
wood quote .th constitution to show
that hi bill ha been drawn according
to rule and that no Injustice haa crept
Into It. . The constitutional - provisions
relating to apportionment are aa fellows:
"Sec I. Art. IV. The senate shall
consist of 10 and th house of represen
tative of 00 members."
"See. 0. Art IV. The number of aea-
atora and representatlvea alalU- at. the
session next loiiowing an enumeration
of the Inhabitant by th United Bute
or thla state, be fixed by-law, and ap
portioned among, the several oountlua
according to th number of whit popu
lation in each. And th ratio of sena
tors and representative ahall be deter
mined by dividing the whole number
of whit population of such county or j
district by such respect! v ratios; and
when a fraction -rhall result from such
division, which shall exceed one half
of such ratio, auch county or district
shall be entitled to a member for such
fraction. And In case any eounty shall
not have th requisite . population to
entitle auch eounty to a member, then
such county shall be attached to aom
adjoining eounty for senatorial or rep
resentative purposes."
In compiling the law Mr. tiockwood
uaed tb figure given In th state census
of 1900 a officially given by the secretary
or state, rrom thla he round the dif
ferent counties of th state to have the
following population: '
