Uto Uftu in Western " Ay.. lUtl,.i,. . A Larger House. The proposed increase in the membership of theNationalHouse of Kepiesentatives from 391 to 433 seems to be satisfactory to the House, and we assume that it will pass. The States that re ceive no increase in memberahip are very well content not to lose any members. That is always disturbing to a State's represen tation. Some member has to be sacrificed in such a case, but if the old member is returned the State, thought losing in its rela tive strength by the increase in other States, is hardly conscious of its loss, so long as its own Representatives are not reduced in number. The States which gam by the increase in the size of the House feel that they are advancing, as they deserve, by reason of the increase in popula' tion, as there is no check on the disposition of the House to in crease its membership with every census. The forty-two members which will be added to the next House of Representatives elected should the reapportionment bill, pass at this session are distributed as follows: New York State gains six members; Pennsylvania, four; California and Oklahoma gain three members each; Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Tex as and Washington, two mem bers each, and sixteen States gam one member each, while twentv one States make no m crease whatever. If two Rep resentatives are given to New Mexico aud one to Arizona, it will bring the house of Representa tives up to 43G members, with no prospects of further change for a decade. As a protection against a high ly overgrown House, it will be wise for Congress to limit the size of future Houses and direct each Director of Census to ap portion Representatives to agree with that size, according to the population of the several States ascertained at each census. This is ine only sate course, as it re quires the exercise of too much self denial for members them selyes to make an apportionment that reduces the number of Rep resentatives from their State and imperils their own seat.
