Show r r 4A DESERET NEWS, Wednsday, January 20, 1971 Campaign Hill, 9 Others Ira Senate Funnel By DEXTER C. ELLIS Deseret News Political Editor A bill carrying out Gov. Calvin I,. Ramptono recommendations for limitations on elec- tion campaign spending was introduced in the State Senate Tuesday afternoon. It was among 10 new measures dropped into the hopper during an abbreviated session which also saw three bills advanced to third reading, including two of a packet of anticrime bills. The campaign spending measure is sponsored by thre Democratic senators: Omar B. Bunnell, Price, and Merrill Jenkins and Mont Bailey, both Ogden. SETS LIMITS It places a limit of 25 cents per vote cast in the last previous election for the offices of U.S. senator, congressman, governor and state legislator. The limit for state offices other than governor, plus city, county and district offices would be 10 cents per vote. The campaign period is defined in the measure as extending from the final candidate filing date until the final election. It stipulates that not more than 70 per cent of the amount can be spent between the primary and final elections. AD REQUIREMENTS The bill prohibits media from accepting political ads unless authorized in writing by the candidate or by the secretary of his personal campaign committee and requires media and candidates to file derailed statements of campaign advertising and cost. It gives filing officers only two days instead of 10 days after deadline to inspect statements of campaign spending and determine whether any candidate has failed to file or has exceeded spending limits. FILING DATE It also cuts from 10 to five days, the period a candidate has in which to file such a statement after he has been notified of his delinquency by the filing officer. If a violation is indicated, the filing officer is directed to notify the county attorney, as at present. However, the bill provides an additional step to assure compliance with the law. If the county attorney fails to act, then any registered voter may institute civil proceedings to prevent an offending candidate from taking office or to remove him from office if he has already taken the oath of office. PARTY SPENDING In addition to the spending by candidates, the proposed law allows state party committees and county part committees to spend five cents in each political campaign for each vote for governor within the state or within the county involved. Also introduced Tuesday was SB65, sponsored by Sen. W. Hughes Brockbank, Lake, providing a broadened framework in which county ijf ng rn Well Drive, Lawmakers Tell Single Ed Board board, through its spokesman, Dr. G.
