Show Ration In Congress. The ratio of representation in the lower house of congress at Washing-tion Washing-tion has steadily changed since the year 17S9, when the Constitution began be-gan its work, the ration was 30,000 to the representative. In 1910 the ratio was 210,000 to the representative. If the ratio did not rise the members of the lower house would in time become too numerous for business. It is for the purpose of keeping the membership member-ship within reasonable bounds that the ratio is made to keep pace with population. |
