I just don't think a cap set in 1911 when we had 29% of our population is a very good thing for our representatives. We've fought two world wars since then, the federal government and our economy has exploded in size, and we've added 4 states and 216,517,042 people (difference between 1910 and 2010 census figures).
This was a topic that made more of a splash 15-17 years ago, I'm really surprised it hasn't been brought up more since then as our continued growth makes us underrepresented even more.
