A BILL should be introduced in the next legislature to amend the constitution so that the elections in Oregon should take place in November and not in June. We ought to be in line with the other states in this matter. It would be a great saving to the people if our elections could be brought off in November. This year Oregon has to undergo the expense of two elections, when one might be made to answer all purposes. The next legislature has something to do if they will only do it, and not fool away its time as the last one did.
