The 40th Oregon Legislative Assembly was the legislative session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly that convened on January 9, 1939 and adjourned March 15.[1] It was the first legislature held in the current completed capitol after the 1935 fire destroyed the previous capitol. A notable event was the death of Senator George T. Eayrs, who collapsed at his desk in the afternoon of March 13, and was pronounced dead soon after. Senators James A. Best and Joel C. Booth, both doctors, attempted to revive him unsuccessfully.[2][3]
