fl REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
CONGRESS IS once again faced with a proposal to
publicly finance election campaigns. In 1974, Congress
established subsidies for Presidential campaigns. Now, the
Administration wants to go a step further in proposing that
American taxpayers finance campaigns for members of
both the United States House of Representatives and
Senate.
The proposal would take money from the federal
Treasury to be used to support Congressional candidates.
Of course, this subsidy system would be non
discriminatory: all candidates would be funded without
respect to their platforms. And the funding would apply to
primaries as well as general elections.
* * *
I OPPOSE public financing of federal elections,
whether it be for Presidents or Congress. Taking money
from the pockets of American taxpayers to finance
candidates whose views they oppose is against every
principle of democracy that our nation stands for. I do not
want my money financing any candidate other than the one
I support and whose views I concur with, and I am certain
that a majority of American people feel the same way.
Direct Treasury financing of campaigns would destroy
the nature of voluntary contributions. People may tend to
lose direct interest in the political process when they see
their tax dollars frittered away by candidates who do not
represent their viewpoints. It could easily result in the
election of officials who are less responsive to the people.
Common sense should show us that this system of
election financing is ill-advised. Our federal budget is
currently operating with a national debt of well over S7OO
billion. The disastrous winter that we have just suffered
through has cost the nation untold millions in
unemployment benefits, lost industrial productivity, and
soaring energy costs. Yet there are those who want us to
spend money to finance every crackpot and crank in the
country who wants to run for a Congressional seat.
* * *
I DO NOT OPPOSE election reform that increases
efficiency, voter participation, and governmental
responsiveness to the people. Every qualified candidate
should be able to finance a campaign without having to rely
on funds from special interest groups.
It would certainly be ideal if Congressional candidates
could all begin their campaigns on equal footing. But
federal financing is not the best way to accomplish this.
When problems exist, we search for solutions. But to grasp
at the first solution offered is foolhardy: we need the best
answer, not just the first

ruth at random
By Ruth Bryant
I REMEMBER JACKSON, GA.
My husband had held pastorates
in New Orelans, Memphis,
East Point and Montgomery!
He was called to the pastorate
of Jackson Presbyterian Church
as a sort of semi-retirement.
I remember the pretty white church
that faced Mrs. Dodson’s house
on Oak Street!
I remember the white manse
that faced Mrs. Julia Willis’ house
On North Mulberry!
After my husband retired,
I remember moving to the house
On South Mulberry
which we purchased!
Our son, Virgil Jr., and his family
had moved to Bainbridge, Ga.
My husband wanted to move there
and we did!
After my husband’s death
I remember moving back to my house
in Jackson, Ga.!
I remember that Doyle Jones
asked me to continue “Ruth at Random”
in Progress-Argus.
Now I remember all my neighbors
and friends in Jackson, Ga.
God bless you!
