Many New Offices Proposed in Oregon Legislature
The Oregonian reviews proposed offices and commissions for the coming session. New bodies include a five member tax commission and a three member railroad commission with salaries, a state bank examiner, state auditor, insurance commissioner, and a new irrigation board with a $100,000 appropriation. A railroad commission and a new board of control would oversee road and utility matters, with nominations by the governor and Senate confirmation. The plan also envisions a normal board replacing four boards and a state-wide effort to supervise taxes, public utilities, and road work.
