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;

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.
