THE HUNTLEY BILL.

One of the measures to be sub
mitted to the initiative vote of
the electors, next June, is "A law
to prevent corrupt practices and
limit candidates election ex-
penses.
This is known as the Huntley
bill, and was presented in the
last legislature and defeated in
the house. 1t is a very complex
affair of upwards of fifty sec
tions, some of them very lengthy
and intricate because involving
many minute particulars. 1t is a
veritable crazy quilt" piece of
proposed legislation. 1t could
not be otherwise because it draws
many of it's features from the
election laws of New York, Mass
achusetts, Connecticut, Cali
fornia and the British Provinces.
These features are Incorporated
with the profound thought and
brilliant ideas of some of Ore
CONS widely recognized neophites
in the science of government.
1t surely must have been a lot
of billiards who cOmDOsed the
last legislature since in the space
of ninety days they failed to see
the merits Of this measure.
They probably saw:
First That it is a long, cum
bersome affair which prescribes
new and unusual duties for state
printer, secretary of state, city,
county and school clerks, audit
ors, recorders and other public
officials, and also many perplex-
ing provisions relating to candi-
dates, their relatives and their
friends.
Second ; That it is based on the
assumption that the greater num-
ber of voters have their votes for
sale, barter and exchange. That
to be elected to any important
office the candidate is compelled
to make such prof1igate expendi-
lures that a poor man is debarred
from seeking Office.
This is false assumption and
an implied insult to the honest,
patriotic men who constitute at
least SO per cent of Oregon's
electors.
Why burden our statute books,
already overburdened, with a law
so complex as this ? We now
have all the law necessary to pro-
tect voters from interference by
any one near to and at the polling
place. We, have ample laws de-
fining bribery, fraud and other
offenses against the purity of the
ballot. These laws have been
proved efficient and the penalties
they prescribe are severe enough
to be deterrent. What more is
needed ? Plainly nothing more.
1t is scarcely probable that the
voters will approve a law which
classes every candidate for Office
among rogues, liars and thieves
and the voter himself as a bribe
seeker and taker wholly untitled
for American citizenship. This
bill is fair specimen of what
Missionaries, faddists and vapid
sentimentalists seek, under the
operation of the initiative to
foist on the people in the guise of
needed for good gov
ernment. 1t is we'll known that
if we would repeal some of our
laws and simplify others the
cause of justice and of good gov
would be distinctly pro-
We cannot do this by adding to
the maze and complexity which
already characterizes our laws,
and we do not believe the people
can be induced to try it.
