These reform s w ill not e lim i nate " d ir t y p o litics,” m isrepre sentation or excessive campaign spending, but they w ill f ill some m ajor loopholes in the present e- lectoral system. 7» h Z b LEGAL NOTICE Minority Report Q u e s t io n a b le c a m p a ig n practices have long been a m ajor headache to political candidates. While campaign tactics have changed drastically in the past few years, the laws to control them have remained anachro nistic and ineffective. In an e ffo rt to make Oregon’ s C orrupt Practices Act more effective, the HouseOemocraticCaucus has unanimously approved a package of revisions that would effectively reduce the loopholes that now ex ist. The principle m odifications of the C orrupt Practices Act en dorsed by the House Democrats include: ( 1) A requirement that all the funds for apolitical candidate must be channeled through one campaign treasurer. This would elim inate a common tendency to create numerous committees all of which have separate campaign treasurers, making campaign contributions more d iffic u lt to trace. (2) An absolute celling on legis lative campaign expenditures in the state; $3,000 for a House seat and $4,500 fo r a Senate seat. A recent Republican candidate fo r the House of Representatives from Multnomah County spent over $16,000 in his bid fo r that seat. (3) A requirement that a candi tile election, his expenditures tn that date and accompanying provision that the candidate shall estimate the expenditures that he contemplates within the final ten days p rio r to the election. The candidate must not exceed the amount of his estimate during the final ten days of the campa ign and; »TJS - 1 ■ ' ■ 1 7 T h e ir most Important objective is to achieve some kind of lim it on spending and to provide a basic level of equity in camp* ign ex - pend itu res. The iyemocrats, in particular, have been at a distinct disad vantage where they have attempt ed to run a campaign on its own m erits in the face of overwhelm ing expenditures by the Republi cans. A recent survey by the C itizens’ Research Foundation disclosed that 46 of the nations’ wealthiest people gave nearly one and a half m illio n dolla rs to the 1968 political campaigns.(yf these 46, Republican campaigns were favored over Democrats by a ratio of 13-1. There is no question that all other things being equal, heavy campaign spending gives an un fa ir advantage to the candidate with the money. The effect on the operation of a democratic society has been extremely damaging to public faith in the elected officials The Democratic initiative to wards campaign reform is simply an effo rt to resolve a problem that was not anticipated by the original fram ers of our representative government, its success w ill help re-secure popular trust and re spect in Oregon’ s elective pro cess and representative govern ment.
