"Section 12 of Article IX only requires uniformity as to the different classes made. Such uniformity as to the classes is and may be just as pronounced and apparent as it affects the several classes, if based upon a Presidential vote, or some multiple thereof, as if based upon an actual census. The classes may not cover the same counties, respectively as if actual census population were used, but there would be the same uniformity as to those counties falling into the several classes. Learned counsel overlook the fact that the lawmakers violated no constitutional provision in selecting an arbitrary method of determining population. This because actual population is not required for a valid classification."
