Reapportionment ‘The census now in progress and the subsequent reappor ment of Assembly and Congressional Districts in the State can be~ very important to the foothill and mountain areas. It is anticipated that California will be given eight and possibly nine additional repThe total number of assemblyman will not, of course, increase because the number—80—is fixed in the state constitution. However, in the readjustments due to population changes the assembly districts could be juggled around a great deal. The reapportionment is a very complicated process not only because of the political, economical and geographic questions involved but because from a procedural standpoint there are provisions of the state constitution, and the ‘law which must be followed. The population in the assembly districts is supposed to be approx. imately equal and that is true also of the congressional districts. As an illustration, it is anticipated that each congressional district throughout the U. S. should represent approximately 345,000 people -. The figure is now 301,000. May Split Districts My district in the 1940 census is credited with a population of 218,000. On the basis of estimated population increases my district, comprising 18 counties, will still be a little short—something like 90 percent of the average for the nation. prevent some radical changes being made during reapportionment. Reapportionment is usually worked out in the heavily populated areas first and then smaller and less populated counties tossed in The Second Congressional District could conceivably be split up with a few mountain counties attached to There could. be a reshuffling of assembly district boundaries to put the foothill and mountain areas at a similar disadvantage in the assembly districts. This is a matter of some importance to the people in our area and should be given some thought! The foothill and mountain areas have been able in the past few years to maintain a considerable amount of unity of interest because the congressional and assembly districts are comprised : of counties of similar geographical and economical interest, and that may not be true after reapportionment unless our area is on its guard. Some consideration should be given early—and now is not 400 soon—by the community leaders to this problem and plans laid to be sure that the economic interests and unity of the mountain and foothill areas are not adversely effected when reapportionment However, that may not FRANK J.
