California is taking another
look this year at fantastic spend

KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON, SUNDAY. JANUARY 27, 1963
Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7(VW
Assemblyman Gordon Winter, of
Merced, has just introduced in
the legislature a bill designed to
let the public know where political
candidates get their financial sup
refers
m

port. It is a combination of
bills he submitted in the 1959 and
1961 legislatures at the request
of Attorney General Stanley Mosk
and a model statute covering cam
paign contributions proposed by
the National Municipal League.
Assemblyman Winter's bill
would strike not only at winning
candidates but at DEFEATED
candidates, campaign aides and
anonymous committees. 1 1 s
toughest feature is a clause to
prohibit a successful candidate
from taking office if he is found
to have violated the "purity of
elections" code contained in the
bill.
For the defeated candidate, it
provides a fine of up to $1,000
and imprisonment in the county
jail for up to six months. The
same penalty could be levied
against campaign aides who vi
olated the law.
The bill would require both can
didates and treasurers of cam
paign organizations to file state
ments of expenditures and their
SOURCE and to swear that they
arc "true under penalty of perjury.
Assemblyman Winter's bill is a
drastic one, but it is peculiarly
timely this year, as the follow
ing figures will attest:
In the t!K2 campaign for gov
ernor of California, expenditures
as reported by the campaign com
mittees of both candidates were as
follows:
Nixon 51,421.633
Brown 1,380,711
TOTAL $2,802,364
Thai's a lot of money to spend
to get elected to the office of
governor even governor of the
biggest state in the Union.
But-
Calilornia isn't ALONE in this
husiness of spending an immense
amount of money to get elected
to an important office.
In the Oregon Senatorial cam
paign that ended last November,
the following sums were official
ly reported as having been spent
in behalf of the two candidates
for the office of U.S. Senator from
Oregon:
Morse
$213.96!
132.322
$351,283
Unandcr
TOTAL
The annual salary of a U.S.
Senator is $22,300 a year. The
term is for six years.
Which is to say:
The amount spent by (lie two
candidates in their campaign for
the office of U.S. Senator from
Oregon was more than the oflicc
will pay in salary in 15 YEARS
or nearly three full terms in the
U.S. Senate.
In the California gubernatorial
campaign last year, the amount
spent by the two candidates was
more than the office will pay in
salary in 70 YEARS or more
than 17 four-year terms.
It seems to me that when It
becomes possible for two candi
dates to spend more to get elect
ed than the office will pay in
salary in two and a half terms
in the case of the recent Oregon
senatorial campaign and more
lhan 17 full terms in the case of
the recent gubernatorial c a m
paign in California, it's high time
for the public to know WHO con
tributed the money and HOW
MUCH each contributor gave.
