No Salaries for Officials Blunder From Last Session
The Oregon legislature faces a salary cut for county treasurers and sheriffs in numerous counties due to a last session blunder. Treasurers will receive no pay after May 22 unless a regular or special session fixes the law, and sheriffs lose pay from January 1, 1911 in several counties. The issue hinges on chapter 123 of 1909 and section 2984 of Hellinger and Cotton codes, with a special session viewed as the only remedy.
