Mr. President. will the addition of three more States. as proposed in the House bill. tend to secure for all time a better and more logical representation in this bodyand by that I mean representation of the diversified industries of the country? The movement of the tide of immigration westward is of special interest as an indicator of the ability of both the southern and northern halves of the United States to sustain an equal propartion of population. In 1790 the center of population of the United States was about 23 miles east of Baltimore. in 1800 it was about 20 miles west of the same point. If we place a star at the center of population on the map in each decade since then. these stars will form almost a straight line along the thirtyninth degree of north latitude.
