Apportionment —
(Continued from page 1)
seats, therefore, are available to be divided among the more populous counties.
The brief points out that based on the 1960 U.S. census, each House member should represent 18,155 people. On this basis, Sedgwick County should have 19 representatives instead of five as at present.
If each county must have at least one representative, Sedgwick County would have 171 seats to have equal representation with Wallace, the smallest county with a population of 2,068.
THE HOUSE is controlled by an even smaller proportion of the population than is the Senate. Sixty-three House seats are controlled by 402,687 Kansans, or only 18 per cent of the total population.
Inequalities occur even within a given county. The most flagrant inequality cited by the brief is in Reno County. The 74th district, which contains the city of Hutchinson and some rural areas, contains 49,398 people, but the 75th district in the same county has only 9,715 people.
The voters in one part of Reno County, therefore, have five times the influence in the state House of Representatives as do the voters in the other part of the county.
TO SOME KANSANS, the legislature is obviously badly in need of reapportionment. The state constitution requires both houses to be reapportioned every five years. The House and Senate, however, have been reapportioned only twice each since 1900. The last reapportionment in both houses was in the 1950s, but obviously these changes did not correct the situation. The next article will discuss past attempts at reapportionment and why reapportionment solely according to population is opposed today.
