Description
This is an original proceeding under Amendment No. 23 to the Constitution. See Bailey, Lieutenant Governor, v. Abington, 201 Ark. 1072, 148 S.W.2d 176, 149 S.W.2d 573; Shaw, Autry and Shofner v. Adkins, Governor, 202 Ark. 856, 153 S.W.2d 415; Butler v. Democratic State Committee, 204 Ark. 14, 160 S.W.2d 494. Only the House of Representatives was involved in the Shaw case. Clyde E. Smith and Floyd H. Fulkerson, Jr., are citizens and taxpayers of Pulaski county. Their contention is that the Thirteenth senatorial district, composed of Pulaski county alone, is discriminated against in that it has but two senators. The Federal census for 1950 gives a population total of 196,685, an increase of 40,600 since 1940, or 26.01%. For the state as a whole the population is 1,909,511 - a loss of 39,876 during the decennial period. Before the official figures for 1950 had been certified a citizen-taxpayer suit was brought against the Board, but this court held that the action was premature. Carpenter v. Board of Apportionment, 218 Ark. 404, 236 S.W.2d 582.
