From Salem:
Senator Wayne L. 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.

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.

This is the third annual edition of the Herald and News Progress
publication.
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.
