Measures Lost by the Wayside in Oregon Legislature
In Oregon's legislature this year many bills failed to pass amid disorganization and haste. District Attorney Phelps pushed measures to curb forgery and tampering with witnesses, but few were adopted. A habitual drunkard bill and an undertaker and embalmer licensing bill were among those killed or left out, while a liquor sale ban to Indigenous people reportedly passed.
