COLORADO'S CAMPAIGN FUND
LAW
A Denver, Colo., dispatch, printed
in tho Indianapolis Star, follows:
John F. Shafroth, governor of
Colorado, governor by virtue of his
theory that tho people shall rule,
has had enacted into law a unique
measure which provides that the
state shall furnish the campaign fund
for both political parties.
"Honest John" Shafroth. "Honest
John," because while a member of
congress he gave up his seat when
he learned that he had been elected
through fraudulent votes, went be
fore the people last fall on a plat
form of many planks, the bank guar
anty plank, initiative and referendum
and many others. He -was tlift dem
ocratic candidate in a state normally
republican and he had an idea of
his own.
That idea' w,as the concept of the
state paying the campaign expenses
of the political parties in campaigns.
Shafroth conceived the idea and
spoke of it as he went about the
state telling why the people, should
elect the democratic state -ticket.
Nobody, not even the party itself,
took a great deal of stock in the
Shafroth plank about the campaign
expense money. But Shafroth had
it in mind always and he meanti
whatever he had to say about it.
He never forgot .about it in any ,o.
iiis speeches, and. he-fought along:
with it single "handed. Men in his
own party smiled and" let the candi
date for governor go ahead. It
might be all right, they said, and
if he got away with it, well and good.
But nobody pushed it, except Shaf
roth. He pushed it all the time.
Shafroth was elected governor by
a substantial majority and he went
into office still with his pet meas
use all his own. He was it's guar
dian angel. ,Shafroth, drew up the.
bill himself and had it presented by
one of the senators. Still no one
in the legislature took it seriously.
It was rather radical.
But the governor took it seriously
and before long the Shafroth meas
ure went through, the legislature,. the.
only one of the many promises made
in the platform that the democrats
made into law. It was the Shafroth
bill and Shafroth put-it through, and
now it is the law of the state.
The law is unique. Colorado, cor
poration controlled and corporation
ridden since it came into being in
1876, has suffered long and patiently
under the lash of the vested inter
ests. Candidate Shafroth thought
about these things and conceived the
law enacted last winter.
The law provides that the treasur
er of the state shall remit to the
state chairmen of the central com
mittees of the political parties before
each campaign 2 5m cents for each vote
cast for governor by that party in
the last election. The chairman of
the state committees will then remit
to -the. county, chairman -.12 .centsj
ior each vote cast for governor by
that party at the last electtpn. This
furnishes the sinews of war for the
campaign.
The candidates are permitted un
der the law to put up no more than
25 per cent of the first year's salary
of the office for which they are can
didates. Then comes the stinger in the bill.
Any person or corporation who either
directly or indirectly contributes any
money or anything of value to any
political paTty will be punished on
conviction by imprisonment not ex
ceeding two years in the penitentiary
or a fine of not more than $5,000, or
both fine and imprisonment.
There has been -no campaign since
the law was enacted and how it will
work out is problematical but Shaf
roth is back of the bill and he will
see that it is taken care of. Some
of the machine politicians' already
believe that they have something on
their hands in this campaign ex
pense law and they are but now wak
ing up to the fact that there is a law
like it on the books. They do not
