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.
