Whipping Post Law In Oregon Seen To Curb Wife Beating
The 1905 18 whipping post law went into effect May 18 and is credited by supporters with reducing wife beating in Oregon. Only three instances of the penalty have occurred, with one man whipped in Portland and another in Baker County. A Portland car shop worker was lashed after a divorce suit, but reconciliation followed. Judge Cameron notes that charges have become rare, attributing the change to the law.
