Abstract

The last two sessions of Oregon's legislature bills have been introduced to provide for a constitutional convention. For some time there has existed a rather vague feeling of discontent with the Oregon constitution. Critics have pointed out useless and archaic provisions and the combination of the basic law, statutory law, and administrative regulation which appear in the constitution. These deficiencies may or may not be sufficient reason for calling a constitutional convention. It is not likely such a convention would confine itself to the deletion of anachronisms and to improve the whole constitution and the administrative structure of state government.
