The population stands at not much above that figure now. On the old basis we got eight congressmen. While Kansas has not gained much in population since 1800, the United States, as a whole, has gained Something over 15,000,000. This, of Bourse, means that some other states have made big gains. Next year congress must establish a new basis, and provision must be made for the representation of the 15,000,000 additional inhabitants.
