Local Insurance Company
Hits Four Million In Sales
From Feb. 1 to June 1 just
four months the American
Guaranty Life Insurance Com
pany has sold over four million
dollars in life policies. Organized
in February of this year, it Is an
ail-Oregon owned and operated
company. Albert G. Ingalls, presi
dent, announced Monday that in
those four months they had sold
$4,234,500 in life policies better
than one million dollars per month.
Although the head office is in
Portland, the Roseburg office has
been largely responsible for this
record. Most of the agents had
never sold Insurance before, said
Ingals. Of the teri agents in the
Roseburg area, six of them have
passed the quarter million dollar
mark and two of them will nave
sold over $1,000,000 in policies by
July 1. The top producers, aa of
May 29, were: J. M. Housley and
D. L. Woodruff, both with $901,
000. The other .agents are S. C.
Campbell, S. M. Moore, M. M.
Reynolds, D. W. Gill, M. E. Hard,
and Leo J. Sanders.
Since the company started busi
ness in February, agencies have
been opened in Portland, Rose,
burg, Salem; Baker, Canyonville
and Myrtle Creek. The company
expects to expand the number of
agencies until the entire state is
covered.
In addition to life insurance, the
company is writing a comparable
volume of business in accident,
polio and hospitalization insurance.

Expense Statements Not
Always Indication Of Full
Cost Of Political Campaign
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM (AP) The candidates have filed their expense
statements for Oregon's Primary Election campaign and, as
jsual it is impossible to tell how much anybody's campaign
:ost. . . (
That's because Oregon's Corrupt Practices Law doesnt
have any teeth in if.
The law. which limits campaign
spending and requires candidates
and their organizations to file their
expenses and contributions, was
passed in 1909. It hasn't been
brought up to date since then.
David O'Hara, who beads the
State Elections Bureau, calls the
law a "farce." He begged the 1951
Legislature to make it effective,
but his pleas fell on deaf ears.
The law aays no candidate may
spend more than IS per cent of
the salary for the office he aee.ks
to run in a primary election cam-
Jiaign. The limit is 10 per cent
or a general election race. How
ever, any candidate is allowed to
spend $100 for each election.
In filing the expense statements,
the candidates and their campaign
organizations must list every con
tribution and expense.
Truth Not Obtainable
O'Hara makes sure that every
candidate files a statement, but
there's no way for him to tell if
a statement is truthful. So noth
ing 'a done about that part of the
job.
If he spots a glaring error in an
expense statement, or if a candi
date doesn't file one, O'Hara sends
the candidate a letter. If that letter
doesn't bring any response, the
candidate can be prosecuted in
Circuit Court.
Any candidate who fails to file
an expense statement, or who is
convicted of filing a false one, can
be deprived of his office. A false
statement can bring punishment
under the perjury laws.
O'Hara told the Legislature that
the limits on expenditures are
ridiculously low. He said nobody
can run a campaign on the small
amount permitted by the law, and
that this act encourages violation
of the law.
For instance, a man running for
the Legislature can spend only
$100. So he slips $1,000 to his cam
paign committee, which reports
this money as coming from other
sources.
Higher Limit Proposed
O'Hara's proposed change would
provide higher limits, but would
make them apply to the total
amount spent for a candidate. A
legislative candidate, for example,
would be permitted to spend $300,
and that's the total amount that he
and his committee could spend.
Then in O'Hara's office there
would be an investigator to audit
the statements.
O'Hara thinks his idea didn't get
to first base in the Legislature be
cause he had the staunch support
of Sen. Richard Neuberger, Port
land Democrat. He believes Neu
berger's support was the kiss of
death, because Republican Legis
latures don't generally look kindly

work, accusing it of "bitterly anti
government" and "obviously in
sulting" remarks.
The Voice has included in its
three dally broadcasts editorial ex
cerpts from many U. S. and other
foreign newspapers attacking Pres
ident Syngman Rhee and scoring
recent political developments here.
Editorials carried on the Voice
programs had criticized President
Rhee for declaring martial law

of the national assembly and
United Nations representatives
here to lift it.
on ideas espoused by Democrats.
You can't tell how much cam
paign cost by just adding up the
expense statements. Newspaper
reporters have spent days trying
to figure them out, and they al
ways give upi
Why System Fails
Here's why It can't be done. Joe
Doakes contributes 1,000 to a
county committee for a candidate,
and be reports it to O'Hara. The
county committee reports the same
$1,000, and sends the money to a
statewide committee, which re
ports it, too. That makes a total
of $3,000 that was reported, while
only $1,000 was spent.
In a campaign like the. one In
Oregon for Gen. Eisenhower for
President, with state and county
committees and individuals report
ing, the duplication of expenses
reported is so widespread that it's
like trying to figure out a Chinese
puzale.
O'Hara is discouraged about the
chances that the Corrupt Practices
Law can be reformed. He is at
retirement age now, and might
not be around much longer. So if
the law is to be changed, some
body else probably will have to
carry the ball.
