Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa. Oregon, for Trans­

Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879
that's ^our Vote Worth?
If the Senate Finance Committee has its way, the 1968
election campaign is going to be an affluent happening worthy
of a Great Society. On September 14. by a vote of 10 to 7,
it approved a bill which would require the taxpayer, and not
the candidate, to pick up the tab for campaign expenses. No
newspaper account that we saw spelled out the provisions
of the bill in detail. We’ll do so, briefly.
First off, there would be a permanent congressional ap­
propriation of $14 million for each presidential candidate
of the two major parties, Democratic and Republican, hi case
you wonder how the Senate Finance Committee arrived at
that figure, it’s very simple. A total of 70 million votes was
cast in the 1964 presidential election. The Committee concluded
that your vote was worth 20 cents. And 70 million votes at
20 cents each is $14 million. Try to fault that for arithmetic.
However, the members of the Committee (all Senators, of
course) put a higher price on votes for a Senator. Taking
the 1964 figures as a measuring stick, they concluded that
a vote for Senator was worth 50 cents. But that premium
price applies only to the first 200,000 votes cast. The next
200,000 votes are worth only 35 cents. Any votes over 400,000
would be worth the Presidential price: 20 cents. If you have
thought from time to time that Senators show signs of an
inflated opinion of their importance you are free to employ
that 50-cent price tag in justification of your opinion. What
the President will think when and if the bill comes up to him
for signature will be interesting. His 20-cent vote allowance
may look thin. Indeed, he may reflect that moving from the
Senate to the White House was quite a comedown.
In any event, it’s estimated that something like $26 million
out of the public treasury will be needed to finance the 100
candidates of the two major parties for the Senate. But the
Committee’s bill doesn’t provide for taking care of candidates
running for either the presidency or the senate on minor
party tickets such as the Communist Party, the Socialist
Party the Wallace ticket, the Martin Luther King ticket,
the Prohibition Party, and so on. Those funds will be agreed
upon in the floor debate.
What about funds for candidates for the House of Represent­
atives, you ask? Well, Senator Gore, who helped draft the
Committee's bill, said it would be up to the House “to write
its own ticket,” when the bill arrives on that side of the
Capitol. - U. S. Press Association.
