Morse spent $154,000 in his campaign (or re election, a printed report released by the .secretary of state's oltice last week shows. The report was a compilation of campaign ex penses and contributions in the Oregon 1912 general election. Morse's rival. Republican Sig Unander, spent $135,991. Morse listed total rontribu'ions of $183,011.52. and Unandcr's total contributions were $130,445, the re port shows. When tabulated the figures look like this. Morse spent L'nander spent TOTAL Ci5 cm 135.191 KS9,99I A L'.S. Senator's annual salary is $22,500. A U.S. Senator is elect ed for a six-year term. His lonl salary for the six-year term lor which a Senator is elected is $135.00(1. Which is to say: Both Mr. Morse and Mr. Unan der spent more in their campaign for the U.S. senatorship from Ore gon than the job w ill pay in salary in the entire six years of the sena torial term lor w hich they wore campaigning. ' I don't want to harp loo long on one string. The Oregon c!e tion at which all this happened is long since over. Nor do 1 w ish to intimate that Mr. .Morse and Mr. Unander did anything illegal. Or that they were alone in heavy campaign spending. According to the report from the Secretary of Slate's office, Governor Hatfield spent $98,231 in his campaign for reelection. The salary of the governor of Oregon is $17,500 a year. The term :f ollice is lour years. The total sal ary of the governor of Oregon dur ing the term lor w hich he is elect ed is $70,000. Nor is it here desired lo inti mate that Oregon is alone in h.-a vy spending in political cam paigns. In the recent gubernatorial election in our neighbor slate of California, Mr. Nixon and Mr. Brown sK-nt in their campaigns more than the office of governor of Calilorma will pay in salary in nearly seven dwailcs. Nor- I'or that matter Is there any purpose here to contend that campaign spending ounht lo be limited. It can be logically argued that so long as the people know how much is be ing spent and who sent it and where it came from no harm is done. The laws of both Oregon and California require the reporting of campaign expenditure. KhI II does seem to this writer that i if candidates for ollice are to spend materially more in their campaigns than the ollice lor which thev are campaigning will oav in sal; alarv during the ENTIRE term of the oilier, disclosure of the amount spent during the campaign, along with who contrib uted it. ought to Iw required BE FORE election day. i.

It may prove surprising the tremendous amount of progress that has been made by Klamath Falls and surrounding area during the past 12 month period. It is only in reviewing in a single publication the progress of a year that one can get an accurate picture of the actual gains. This is the purpose of our annual Progress Edition. We do not intend that you read the entire edition in one sitting, but ask, rather, that you set it aside for leisurely reading, perhaps a section a day. This is the manner in which it has been designed. Also, a number of extra copies have been printed and will be available on a first come, first served basis. Former residents in other areas as well as friends in other parts of the world may welcome a copy of this edition. ark's Mike Row Legislatures Sixth SALEM 'UPIi Signs of strain i a three-way honeymoon be tween the governor, the Oregon House and the Senate were ap pearing as the legislature today rounded out its sixth week. And it wasn't a straw, but a wire that appeared to have snapped the camel's back: Seci- lically, a wire linking the House and Senate public address systems tp Gov. Mark Hatfield's olfice so he could tunc in on floor debates. The system has been taken for granted by nearly everybody since it was installed in the House in 1U57 and the Senate two years later. But not by Sen. President Ben Musa. He brought it up Wednes day, said he' h.id just learned about it. and termed it a "breach of decorum." Then Musa's wife. Chairman Katherine Musa of Ihc House Rules Committee, and Senate Rules Chairman E. D. Potts went lo bat. They visited Hatfield to discuss the speaker. There wasn t much discussion. Hatfield, seemingly irked by the whole fuss, handed Potts t h c speaker and said. "Take it." The next clay the Senate mane rousing joke of the matter. terming Potls "Keeper of t h c sneaker." Not so Ihe House. Rep. John Dellenback suggested Mrs. Musa went too far in appearing to act on behalf of the House. More seriously, he said, the speaker system was an important method of keeping the governor informed on legislative matters he must linally rule on and work with. Both Hallield and Mouse Seaker Clarence Barton sug gested Ihe matter amounted to a lempest in a teapot and there were more pressing matters to attend to. Whether the Dellenback group would be silenced in t h c. interests of harmony remained question. There were other breaches in togetherness during the week. The Senate got off to what Musa jokingly termed a "fruitful" start Monday by panning Hatfield and Sen. Wayne Morse (or Friday's joint session on the Boardman in dustrial park. Senaturs who ducked out early and didn't at tend congratulated each other on the Senate floor. Hatfield's 100 per cent record on vetoes remained unblemished when the Senate fell five votes short of the 20 it needed to over ride a measure on injunctions against liquor establishments vetoed in liifil. A cleavage among 1 h e often solid 2!) Republicans in the house appeared when 18 of them issued a statement demanding referral of a tax program to the people. The list included House Minority Leader F. F. Montgomery. But it omitted Rep. Victor Atiyeh, chief sponsor ol the governor s tax measures. The Democratic House leadership opposes an election, and Hatfield, who originally wanted one, has admitted the issue is dying. The Senate voled lo extend its authority on a year round basis to the rules and regulations issued by boards and commissions b y setting up a watchdog committee. The bill went to the House. Meanwhile, Ihe serious business of the session went on i n committees. W ays and Means subcommittees ontinued to lop belly sums from budgets that make up the gov ernor's proposed spending plan (or 19M-K5. The biggest cut came in a section of the higher educa tion budget when a subcommillce decided t o increase Ihe pcr teachcr workload to 1" students instead of Ifi I, a saving of $I.R million. Wajs and Means co-chairmen Ward Cook and Ross Morgan said they hoped a final budget figure would jell by April 1. and that it would be $15-20 million lower than the governor's $405 million. That would mean Ihc state still would need over $30 million i n new revenues. The House Tax Committee continued its review of major lax plans, going into night meetings. Attention was called acain to Oregon's property tax burden with a bill lo more than doubic income taxes to ollsel property tax re ductions. Aworone.s of t h e prop erty tax problem has been demon strated in several bills, but dis agreement over what lo do about it is broad. sober Ways and Means mb committee gravely turned its at- lonlmn lo the gray line between guilt and innocence in the misu.c ol supplies and lunds in the state mihlary department. Secretary of State Howell Appl ing Jr. said the irregularities seemed to him to invohe con duct "unacceptable" in per ai positions of high trust. Two bills that have drawn the biggest crowds u far al logiv lative hearings were voted on by lb House Committee on Stale end Federal Aflairs. The committee; approved the first of six mea-urri aimed at sex offender;. But i t quietly laid lo rest the "Liberty Tops Off Week1 Amendment" that seeks lo repeal Ifcdcral income laxes Judging from mail, another rowd was expected Wednesday when Ihe proposed Sunday clos ing law comes up for hearing. A recn stamp bill, an attention-get ter in the past, was scheduled lor introduction next week. The first public hearings began on a proposed new constitution. The Bill of Rights in Ihe document drew a variety of reactions. Committees were asked lo over haul boating laws, attack automa tion, and copy a Canadian pcr mil system for exporting logs Hills were submitted to end the Aid to Dependent Children pro gram and. net state speed limits. The governor and Burton sug gested the state chip in funds to help finance Portland's second bid lor the Olympi' Cov. Mark Hattield look note of Washington's Birthday Friday by recommending it be eliminated as a slate holiday along with Lincoln's Birthday. Feuding didn't slop al home The Oregon legislature added am munition to its request for recip rocal workmen's compensation laws from the Stale of Washing ton when the Oregon House passed a hill to remove a tax advantage for some Washington residents unless the Washington Legislature acts.
