ONE AGAINST PEDDLING.
A Bill Passed the Legislature for the Pro.
lection of Retail 81 erchants,

A Bill Passed the Legislature for the Pro
lection of Retail Merchants.
One OF the bills passed by the late
legislature is the bill to license ped
dlers and hawkers. 1t was introduced
and passed at the request Of merchants
in the eastern, and more thickly pop
ulated portions OF the state for the
purpose of cutting the profits out Of the
business OF the numerous pack peddlers
who work this section of the state. The
main provisions of the bill require a
license to be paid by all peddlers or
hawkers, taking orders for groceries,
clothing, hardware, or other mercan-
tile Establishments, and includes in it's
scope all peddlers, hawkers or solicitors.
The license is: For pack peddlers on
foot. 1926 to $50 per year; peddlers with
wagon or other vehicles, $50 to 500 per
year, and for solicitors for groceries,
clothing, hard ware Or other mercantile
establishments, $75 to 1925, no license
to be issued for less time than one
year. Runners travelling for wholesale
houses and taking orders from mer-
chants only, and peddlers OF farm pro-
ducts are exempt from the provisions
of the act. The penalty for violation
is a ne OF from S25 to 800.
