...more Congressmen?even 435 are too many to be of any use except when they are split up into a variety of committees. Each member now represents an average of about 250,000 U. S. inhabitants. But the injustice lies in the fact that whereas some Congressmen represent less than that number of males and females, some represent a great many more. Notably, Congressman Crail of the Los Angeles-Hollywood district is the sole voice of 1,250,000 people, so that a vote in Los Angeles is only one-fifth as potent as in the average district. This inequality...
Other Possibilities. Outstanding among Chicago's industrialists, of course, is utilityman Samuel Insull. Possibly the baseball and gum interests of William Wrigley Jr., the stock market speculations of Arthur W. Cutten, the taxicab past of John D. Hertz (see BUSINESS) make them less available.

...membership of the Society, while steadily increasing from less than 2,000 in 1903 to 9,286 in 1928, (excluding membership in the Technology Branch), shows an interesting rise in the last five years, almost doubling in number. Several factors contribute to this growth, one of the chief ones being the remodeling of the old store into the modern place of business in which the Society is now housed. The inclusion of graduate members was also begun during this period. These number 1,366 in the 1928 report...
...University football team was the only athletic group not operated at a deficit, according to the report made public today of Charles Francis Adams '88, Treasurer of the University. The team earned $577,254.49, about $7,000 less than during the preceding year. The income from University baseball also declined, while the receipts from crew, track, and hockey showed an increase over...
