Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 16—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A strict corrupt practice act, prohibiting the corruption of judges or candidates for judges contributing to campaign funds and limiting the amount other candidates may contribute and providing for heavy penalties for violation of the law, is scheduled for passage in the senate this afternoon. The bill was introduced by Senator Trayler and is set for a special order of business. Fines of $5,000 and imprisonment are provided for the officer and directors of corporations who personally violate the provision against corporations subscribing to campaign funds. Corrupt practices are defined to be “soliciting and accepting money with the intention of influencing votes." On behalf of the state commercial clubs. Senator Harlan today introduced a bill providing that on petition of 25 per cent of the voters of any city an election shall be held to decide whether the city shall adopt the Des Moines plan of government. The bill providing that teachers with thirty-six months’ license shall be exempt from examinations, passed; so did the cold storage bill. The quail bill passed but was reconsidered on the grounds that it would cut off the hunters' license and lessen the revenue of the game commission.
