The Repeal Of which Oar Mer-
chants Oppose.

The following petition is now being cir
culated throughout the State:
To the Honorable, the Senate and Assem-
by O! the State of Nevada:
CONFERENCE.-THE undersigned, your Pc
titioners, would most respectfully repre-
sent that they are credibly informed, and
have reason to believe, that during tho
present session Of the Legislature Of this
State an attempt will be made by mer-
chants, and others, from the State OF Cali
| fornia, and elsewhere, to have the So
called ..Drummer's License" law repealed;
and also to have the Attachment law Of the
State OF Nevada SO amended as to place
them the foreign creditors-on al equal
footing with creditors Of the State Of Ne
vada. That is to say, the attempt will be
made to SO amend our Attachment law
as to strike out therefrom the words that
such a contract was made, or is, by the
terms thereof payable in this State"
Your petitioners respectfully say. that
the so-called drummer License law
works no hardship whatever on the foreign
merchants, but justly requires them to
contribute the small sum OF twenty-five dol
lars towards the support OF the State for the
privilege Of selling goods throughout the
State Of Nevada, by sample, and for future
delivery. And it is the opinion Of your
petitioners, and they verify believe, that
the sum Of twenty-five dollars is entirely
inadequate for a 'Drummer's License"
and that il any alteration be made at all
in the so-called ''Drummer's License" law,
it should be amended so as to place the
"Drummer's License" TO at least fifty
dollars per month, instead of twenty-five
dollars, as now required by the said
.Drummer's License" law.
Your petitioners further say, that should
our Attachment laws be amended in the
manner indicated by your petitioners, or
otherwise so as to meet the unjust wishes
Of foreign creditors by placing their claims
on an equal footing with the claims OF
home creditors, such al alteration or
amendment would not only work great
hardships to the people Of our State, but
seriously cripple the business prospects OF
the entire State Of Nevada. And your
petitioners further say, that the Attach
mcnt laws OF the State Of Nevada are an
identical copy Of tie same law Of tie State
Of California. And you petitioners fur
Their say. that they know Of their own
knowledge that the merchants Of Califor-
mia have hithe ito repeatedly and per sist-
entity refused to alter or amend their At
taehment law for the same reasons, and
upon the same grounds that We, your petit
TONERS, do now respectfully but most en-
phatically protest against, namely: any
alteration or amendment OF the Attachment
laws of our State, whereby the merchants
Of California, or elsewhere, may obtain an
undue or unjust advantage over the people
OF this State.
For the several reasons above set forth,
your petitioners do most respectfully urge
upon the Honorable, the Senate and As
sembIy of our State, to discountenance
every and all attempts that may be made
in your Honorable body to repeal. or to
amend, either the Drummer License
law, or the Attachment law; but that these
laws be left on our statute books as they
are, without alteration or amendment.
And your petitioners will ever pray.
