Oregon constitutional amendment aims at longer sessions
Salem lawmakers consider a plan by Speaker C N McArthur to extend the Oregon legislature. The amendment would require a biennial 60 day session split into two 30 day segments with a 10 day intermission, raise house membership from 60 to 75, end joint county representation, and pay legislators 5 dollars per day during the 60 day session with no pay during intermission. McArthur says the changes would boost efficiency after careful study.
