Campaign finance opinions differ
ACLU disagrees
Charles Davis, Chairman
of the American Civil Liber
ties Union of Oregon, in a
July 15 letter to Governor
Tom McCall, responded to
arguments of State Treasurer
Jim Redden in support of
legislation limiting political
campaign expenditures by
candidates, committees and
individuals not affiliated with
campaign organizations.
Davis disputed Redden’s
contention that the Water
gate scandals prove that
unlimited campaign funds are
the equivalent of shouting
"fire" in a crowded theatre
and justify restrictions on
Clay Myers o k ’s
freedom of expression. Davis
said: ,
"Whatever else Watergate
may prove, it does not prove
that you should sign these
bills into law. Nothing in SB
541 or HB 3077 would pro­
hibit the "White House hor
rors" proven and alleged to
have been a part of the 1972
campaign to re elect the
President. Watergate is not
about campaign spending
for legitimate campaign pur
poses. W atergate is about
burglary, wiretapping, fraud,
perjury and obstruction of
justice. All these acts are
serious crimes.

"Further, while we may all
think there is room for im
provement in the political
processes here in Oregon,
Watergate is not a scandal of
this state and we should not
use it as an excuse to enact
emergency legislation.
"Contrary to Mr. Redden's
inference, nothing in SB 541
or HB 3077 will keep un­
limited funds from "pouring
into campaigns". No limits
would be placed on contri­
butions. And. while expen
ditures are otherwise limited
to given ceiling amounts, the
definition of expenditure pro
vided in HR 3077 specifically
allows any political campaign
treasurer to transfer funds
without restrictions as a con
tribution to another cam
paign. Accordingly, a can
didate with an easy race or
with uncanny ability to raise
contributions can finance
other campaigns. Money can
hop. skip and jump into and
out of a w hole series of races
without restriction.
“Again, the most effective
way to achieve parity among
political forces is to ensure
that all candidates have a
guaranteed minimum amount
to spend on campaigning, an
amount which would be suf
ficient to wage an effective
campaign. The integrity of
the political process will be
preserved by measures w hich
enlarge the participation by
citizens, not by laws which
impose more centralized con
trol and censorship.
"We strongly urge you to
veto this legislation which, in
spite of the worthy motives
of the sponsors, will severly
restrict freedom in Oregon."

This
does not mean that they are
anti-white, anti-Indian, rfhti-

It merely
means that persons have
come together for a single
purpose.
Blacks however, especially
many of the Blacks with
incomes dependent upon the
system, try to avoid or
soften any actions that may
indicate a pro Black psoture.
That position is so asinine
that it borders on the edge
of being ridiculous.
There
are those among us who will
ask persons of other groups
to do more for Blacks than
we are willing to do for
ourselves. The white liberal
will oft times take a stance
for Black equality while many
of our Black brothers and
sisters are shunning any
mention of Blackness.
We certainly can't be anti­
white. However, we must be
pro Black. The two positions
are not interchangeable and
must not be mistaken as
being so. Nevertheless, we
must not continue to be inti­
midated by those who would
mistake the two as the same.
To do so will keep us
inactive.

the NAACP. CORE, SCLC,
PUSH. Black Caucus, Urban

organizations as to the Mus-
lim . They are: 1) We want

21 We

We want
justice applied equally to all,

3) We want

want equal membership in

ized society.
The Muslims and other or­
ganizations must find com­
mon ground to rally around.
We don't need to resolve our
differences if we can take
advantage of our sameness.
That sameness is based upon
Blackness and all that means
in our society.
In this
context, I feel compelled to
say a word or two about the
meaning of pro-Blackness.
The Black community often
feels self-conscious about
being pro-Black. To many,
this re p re se n ts anti w hite
and is therefore a difficult
stance to take. The reluc­
tance to be allied with a
position that may be mis­
construed as anti-white is
based upon fear or ambition
or rejection of racism or any
combination of the three.
One need not be anti-white
in order to be pro-Black.

Secretary of State Clay
Myers said the 57th l.egis
lative Assembly turned out
some major election laws re­
quested by his office, but
failed to take action on
several other needed changes.
"1 am especially pleased
that we were able to tighten
up our campaign spending
and reporting laws," Myers
said, "and that we scored
gains in making the Voters’
Pamphlet more factual and
reliable."
Myers said the Secretary
of State's office requested
introduction of a number of
election law changes, and
were successful in gaining
passage of nine measures.
"Our big victory of the
session was SB 541, which
will now provide some realis
tic limits on campaign spend
ing," Myers said. "The cost
of running for public office
has skyrocketed in recent
years, and the purpose of SB
541 is to provide some spend
ing restrictions that will con
tinue to permit persons of
modest means to seek elec
tion."
Myers also cited passage
of HB 3077, which tightens
up on campaign finance re­
porting laws, and which pro­
vides for civil penalties and
fines for violations of election
laws.
Myers said he regretted
the legislation had deleted a
provision from HB 3077 that
would have required an esti­
mate by candidates of the

ceiving and spending between
