After Jan. 1, the American Iron and Steel Institute will issue only the actual tonnage output. The institute tried doing this several years ago, but outside experts went right on making their own computations by simply comparing the actual tonnage with capacity, thus forced the institute to start releasing the capacity figure again. Now the institute has a solution for that problem. Normally, in January, it publishes the increase in capacity during the past year, a computation that is made only once a year.

A third formula, to elect electors from Congressional districts, would be disastrous, since Congressional districts are grotesquely out of joint with the actual population distribution in their states...
