Sectional versus representative government is headed for a showdown battle in the 1952 session of the Mississippi Legislature South Mississippians? are prepar ing the first salvo and if their guns are spiked it will be 10 years before they can fire again Many state legislators from the fifth sixth and seventh congress ional districts are out to break the stranglehold on legislative control handed i the northern part of the state in the 1890 constitution 'Unless they can the southerners are prepared to attempt to block any shuffling of the present seven congressional districts Mississippi loses one (congress man this year and unless new dis tricts are carved out all six must be elected from the state at large next summer South Mississippians "are confi dent they can name at least four of them leaving only two for the entire northern part of the state present legislative seats are parceled out on the basis of not population The 1890 constitution written to vent negro domination of the lature made sure of that That document divides' the state into three great each a minimum of 44 representatives in the House Senate districts are similarly divided These areas cover 1 northeast Mississippi 2 central east central and southern Mississippi including ranklin and Lincoln counties and 3 the river counties plus Hinds and Yazoo Based on population representa tion the state is off balance in both Congress and the state House of Representatives The first area has a population of 473000 of which 110000 voted in last primaries and has the minimum number of 44 repre sentatives in the House The second area has 845000 resi dents 184500 of whom cast ballots dn August and 50 representatives in the lower House Population of the third area is 855000 with 103000 voting in the last race It has 46 representatives in the lower House Based on population here is how the lower House is made up: irst area: One member to ev ery 10727 residents or 2494 votes in the last Democratic primary Second area: One member to every 16914 residents or 3690 vot ers Third area: One member to ev ery 18591 residents or 2247 voters The third area contains the Del with its heavy negro population and accounts for the lower voting ratio there Southern House members have a 56000 voting edge to back their threat of balking at any congres sional changes unless they get more representation at the state level They believe this will offset the 75 1 2 to 64 1 2 majority the north now holds in the House The first second third and fourth congressional districts all in north Mississippi have a total population of 1057000 and 171000 of them went to the polls in Au gust The fifth sixth and sewjjrth dis tricts in south Mississippi have a population of 1117000 and 227835 voters Changing the method of legisla tive apportionment will require a constitutional amendment and will meet violent opposition from north Mississippians The fight is sure to see th6 standard of white su premacy raised high and waved hard One north Mississippi lawmaker discussing the Grubbs re appor tionment bill in the 1950 session said: they re apportion the state have a negro sitting here where I am by the next ses His county elects three members of the House the most any county now has from a total population of 25000 of which 17000 is hegro He had no reason for worry the constitution bars any1 change in legislative representa tion except by the first regular session after 'a federal census That session is coming up uary Gov Elect Hugh White a south Mississippian from Woody Popeye Bugs Bui We are
