W. Pickersgill, the Libe- til ral front -bencher, :has. recently of suggested several tinges that a is- limit should be set an the Ad amounts each .party and eaeh card .candidate can spend for publi- on city and advertising during an election campaign. This would. A- reduce" election :costs but it is does not get to the roots of the of matter. ee "Only a month or so ago, a be Conservative bac k b e Ache r, of Frank McGee, introduced an idea that would encourage in - ho dividuals. to make small. =tri- be butions to political parties, He o• got his. plan. from the Anerri- es can Heritage Foundation, which he organizes a campaign in the po- 'United States to encourage pri- eir voteon citizens to donate any- s- mously through its facilities to as the U.S. political parties. m .Jaes R. Scott, fernier erat candidate for the prov vial Seat in Huron and, mi recently, national organizer the Liberal party, urges leg latioza whieh will put an e to• the political slush f. system which finances elects campaigns. The system should be bolished now because it destructive to our concept democracy and to our fr parliamentary system , writes in the ,current issue 11faeLean's magazine. Scott, a Seaforth native w ran unsuccessfully against t late Thomas Pryde in the pr vincial election of 1955, relat from personal experience t devious means by which litical parties build up the election funds and the pre sures which are put on them a result. -" . , no matter bow the m ney is collected or from who as long as our parties are d pendent on big business or b unions some people are no i to. have more influence lila the rest of us on whatever pa ty forms the government." He indicates some action being contemplated to contr the system, "In the past few months re resentatives of all the maj parties have discussed the pro lei of campaign funds public! and put forward ideas as how it night be solved. By f the most extensive are the pr posals of the new Liberal go ernment of .Quebec, which hop to pass the most stringent an confining election act to found anywhere in Canada an act that would limit both t sources of funds and the amou any party could spend in an election. He mentions, too, the propo- sal of the New Party to change election regulations to control.s spending but claimit is much 'The story in .S0 nts-bury '"Donations are made direct - o ly to the foundation, which dis- rn tributes them to the parties as e- the donors designate. Such con- ig , tributions are income tax ex - ng• empt and the parties do not HappenI.ngs in ls� know the names of ,the donors. . This system raises more money and creates More interest in politics but it does not replace the big contributors. "So far, the Quebec propo- sals are much the best, For federal purposes, the New Par- ty's proposal for a reasonable and effective limitation on caan- ,paign expenditures is sound if it is spelled out in detail in leg flotation and stiff and enforce !;able penalties are incorporate into the act. But along wit this must go an equally effec Live control of contributors. IThe amount that any corpora- tion, organization or union can ! donate should be defined and. , all such donations made public, I At the same time, the defini- i tion of a contribution should in - elude service as well as money. "Similarly, no , organization 1(such as a union) should be i allowed to collect money in any 1 way from its members or ern. , pleyees for a political purpose, Here, Frank McGee's propos- als fit in. Proper legislation t encourage individual givin should be passed and a neutra foundation, such. as the Ameri can Heritage, set up to admin. 01 Blanshard slier it. a b o By MRS, GLADWYN HOOPER b t .rx to i (Intended for last week) ar Personal items 0'1 Edwin and Douglas Lang- '- ford of Dorchester are spend- eS ing this week with Walter, Don- a nie and Carl Langford, be Mr, and Mrs, Gordon Sal - he , mon and family of Port EIgin nt, were Sunday guests of Mr, and t Mrs. Kenneth Langford.

"All right," snapped the ser- geant„ "So whe's the wise guy holding' up both logs?" "This kind of action would cut waste in election costs, make for:a more equitable fi• nancial position among all can- didates, and create . a properly democratic atmosphere where a vote is more important than a dollar. At the same time, it would reduce the danger of po- litical influence from large contributors and encourage the financial participation in poli- tics of every citizen. "This would be a start any- way, But the legislation must have teeth in it— strong pen- alties — or it will be a farce. Particularly stiff punishment should be provided to prevent tollgating, kickback and other devices whereby a party re- ceives money for favors gran- ted, For twenty-five years, the statute books of Ontario con- tained a law that made any kind of contribution to any poli- tical. party illegal. No one paid any attention to it; contribu- tions continued to be made as if the law did. not exist and no- body was ever prosecuted for breaking it." .112 ..
