Statement on the 15th Decennial Census and Reapportionment.

EXCLUDING the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Panama Canal Zone, Porto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, and Indians not taxed, the population of the United States, as reported for the 15th Decennial Census, taken as of April 1, 1930, was 122,093,455. This is the population used in the attached statement which shows the apportionment of the 435 Representatives in Congress among the several States.

Section 22 of the act of Congress [46 Stat. 26], approved June 18, 1929, provides that no State shall receive less than one Member. The method used at the last preceding apportionment of Members, referred to in Part 1 of Section 22, was the major fraction method, referred to in Part 2. Therefore, one column is shown giving the apportionment according to the major fraction method and the second column gives the distribution of Members according to the method of equal proportions, referred to in Part 3 of Section 22.
