Petition Asks Right tii- Attack Apportionment Continued From Page 1. averred that the Madison County board at its September meetlrtg will levy i for county purposes on all taxable property in the county, including that of the plaintiffs, for the year 1941.

Such taxes when collected will become a part of the public funds entrusted to the county treasurer and will be used in defraying "expenses of the county, state and congressional primary and general In 1942. Quotes Constitution The complaint quotes from Article I of the U. S. Constitution covering representation of states in Congress, and cites Section £2, Article XIV, that "When the rlgnt to vote at any election for choip of president, vice-president the United States, representatives in congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state or members, of the legislature, is denied to any male inhabitant of such state being 2i years of age and citizens of the United States, or is in any way abridged the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion to which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state. 1 Article XIX is quoted to the effect that rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex, Illinois, it Is pointed out, Is entitled to 26 representatives in Congress, as ascertained by the 1940 decennial census.

Under act of the Illinois General Assembly in 1901, quoted in the complaint, the state is apportioned into 25 congressional districts, each of which is entitled to elect one representative to congress. Population of the 25 districts, as shown by the 1940 census, is. listed with the population for the Twenty-Second District given at 359,343, while the population for the entire state is given at 7,897,241, The complaint then avers that the congressional districts of 1111 nois, established In 1901, are unequal in population; that such inequality is unreasonable, unfair and unjust; and that according to such districts an in the districts would not be equal. In the Twenty-second district, in which the plaintiffs reside-Jt is asserted, it is necessary for 3.203 voters to go to the polls to equal the vote of one person In the Fifth district, which has a population of 112,116. according to the 1940 census.

The Fifth district comprises two wards and parts of two 'others In Chicago, Mentioned Districts with an excessive, number of Inhabitants and those with an unreasonably small number arc mentioned, and the complaint asserts that if the population figure for Illinois were divided by 26 the number of representatives In Congress to which the state Is ratio of population would be 303,740, whereas the Fifth district has only 113,116 and (he Seventh has 014,053 inhabitants. The act, the complaint avers, "contravenes and violates" the Illinois constitution by reason of the "marked disparity and inequality In the number of between the various dlilricU, and any congressional primary or general election In 1942 held under the apportionment act would be unequal and In direct violation of section 18, Article 11 of the Illinois Constitution," Because of the excessive popula tlon In seven of the 'districts, In-, eluding the Twenty-second, comprising a population Of 4,114,121, "the right of more than 60 percent of the male of the flate to vote for choice pf representatives in Congress at primary Mrs. Everett Hegeman, who 'before her marriage this, morning at St. Bernard's Church, Wood River, was.

or general elections for representatives in Congress held in, 1942, would under the apportionment-act of. 1901, by reason of of such election-. be abridged except as to any representatives in Congress elected at large in Illinois," the complaint declares. As a result of such. abridgement of rights, the complaint avers: The number of representatives; to the Seventy-Eighth Congress apportioned to Illinois, would be reduced to 13; that of 25 representatives elected in 1942 in the 25 districts, not one would be.

entitled to membership in the House of Representatives; that only representatives elected at large, if any, would be to one of the 13 seats assigned to Illinois. In consequence, it is averred, vacancies would result In practlc- laly the, entire representation from Illinois to the.House, and the governor would be required to issue writs of election to fill the -vacancies, adding to 'the election expense, which the plaintiffs would have to beer In part. In conclusion, the plaintiffs, in their proposed petition, ask the court to declare and 4ecr.ee that the Illinois Apportionment Act of 1901 is contrary to arid in violation of the Illinois constitution and therefore null and void. Also asked is that hold the Act contrary to acts of Congress, cited, and In violation of, the Illinois constitution and statutes mentioned. Injunctions are asked perpetually enjoining the secretary'of auditor of public accounts and state treasurer ftoW expending or causing to be expneded any public funds of the state in connection with primary election for nominating candidates for representative In The three Madison county officials named as defendants, and Madison County, the petition requests, should be similarly restrained, as to expenditure of county funds for such election, Gold production this year expected to reach a record 17,000,000, tbb pepartment of Commerce Women Meet At County Seat The Wood River Branch of the American Association of University Women held' an executive board meeting Thursday afternoon at the home of the president, Mrs.
