No member of any initiative, referendum, or recall committee, no person circulating a paper for signatures, and no signer of any such paper, or any other person, can accept or offer any pecuniary or other reward for service rendered in connection with the circulation. This does not prevent the committee from paying for legal services and from incurring necessary expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery, copying, printing, advertising, and notary fees. A violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
