Senate Passes Bribe Ban Bill With 1–7 Year Penalties
In a morning session the Kansas Senate advanced a harsh anti bribery measure applying to township city or county officials and potentially to legislators. The bill imposes one to seven years hard labor for accepting money or other value to influence votes or actions. A separate Sterne bill limits railroad hiring to those with three years as fireman or brakeman, with fines up to 1,000 dollars for first offenses.
