Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1911-07-27

ed as radical and even drastic when 1t
passed the house, but amended it SO 1t
is many times as radical or drastic as
it was when it came over from the
house.
This bill permits candidate for the
house to expend not to exceed 8 cents
for each voter in the district, a candi-
date for senator being limited to 10
cents for each voter in the state. A
senator is limited, however, to a total
expenditure of so, 900 and represent
alive to 1000.
The bill contains one really drastic
provision. 1t makes it illegal for a
candidate to promise political job as
a reward for support aims to prevent
a form OF bribery long common in poll
tics, high and low. This provision
would prevent the building of machines
if it does not become a dead letter
very soon.
One great weakness of this bill is
that it stops at the candidate himself
and does not extend its provisions and
limitations to committees, other than
his personal committee. What may be
spent by interested persons is not COW
cred. In the house an attempt was
made to put in a provision to bring the
national congressional committees I'M
der the act, but was defeated. Which
was mistake and makes a great
weakness in the law.
Although this bill, if the two houses
hnally get together in conference on
the senate amendments. is a step for
ward and long one; although it marks
another advance in the real national
desire for purity in politics, it will
probably share the fate of most state
acts and be spared the sight of prose-
