Graft in Oregon Prompts Reform Call in State Politics
Portland April 12 special correspondence notes Oregon taxpayers are increasingly alarmed by graft in high places. The piece links revelations of Oregon land frauds to broader calls for reform and anti machine politics, cites state printer salaries and other public-clerk pay as proof of waste, and reports rival candidates' stances while outlining a forthcoming June election. It also covers sheriff sale notices and local political endorsements from Athena and Umatilla County.
