JUDICIARY CHANGES IN OREGON PROPOSED BY BINGHAM AMENDMENT
A constitutional amendment proposed by Senator Bingham would reorganize Oregon’s judiciary, creating a five member supreme bench with ten year terms and a system of superior courts while abolishing county courts. The measure would place the proposal before voters and move the general election from June to November. The plan mirrors structures in California and Washington and shifts probate duties to the new superior courts. County judges would be affected as the reform consolidates powers under the new system.

What Is Left of Republicanism in Oregon
A Salem Journal editorial ridicules the Capital Journal for opposing party lines while praising reform moves. It argues the Oregon Republican party has adopted Populist planks and Roosevelt Bryan alignments, calling for genuine reform over partisan rigidity. The piece notes past reform attempts by the legislature and Prohibition advocates, endorses independent reform, and says the party exists to enable public action rather than preserve a rotten leadership. It asserts voters favor results and that reforms must come even if via a party machine.
