9UILP& A STAGE OR
>TW- PANCIN& MOUNR.
ange County are represented by a sin-
gle member of Commissioners Court
Representation of the other half is di-
vided up, approximately equally, among
three commissioners.
This situation is by no means pe-
culiar to Orange County. It exists all
river the state and one member of the.
Legislature, Rep. Louis Anderson of
Midland,'is trying to do something to
level off the representation on commis-
sion«rtQoarU. >
.Anderson has introduced a proposed
constitutional amendment which would
give the people of Texas a chance to de-
cide whether they want to rid them-
selves of tlfe present archaic system of
districting commissioners’ precincts and
set up a more equitable division of rep-
resentation at the county courthouses.
Some lawmakers tried to get Ander-
*on to change his constitutional amend-
ment to a plan for keeping present geo-
graphical divisions of precincts but al-
lowing election of commissioners on a
countywide basis.
But Anderson thinks that would per-
mit loo much concentration of power
for the heavily-populated areas.
He has changed from his original
idea to require that realignments be
made after each decennial federal cen-
sus. He now wants to make redistrict-
ing a right, rather than a requirement.
As it is presently written, the pro-
posed amendment would require an
election on redistricting on presentation
to the county judge of petitions signed
by 10 per cent of the voters in a county.
The Constitution at present allows
commissioners courts “at their discre-
tion” to redistrict their counties, Nat-
urally, there * i$ little disposition to
change precinct lines and force commis-
sioners to give up friendly territory or
take on unknown areas.
Anderson at first asked that the leg-
islation require precincts to have at
least 20 per cent of a county s popula- before what it is doing
tion and not more than 30 per cent. But
tie has agreed to change those extremes
to not less than 10 per cent and not more
than 40 per cent in any given precinct.
Save for the fact that it is permis-
sive rather than mandatory, the Mid-
land lawmaker’s proposal seems to be
a good one. If applied in Orange County
today it would require only a i"J
shifting of precinct lines to equalize
representation and, as far as we can ___ ^ ..........
Judge, would create no special problems. 60 to 90 per cent effective. At once, with governmental approval,
