TAX ON PEDDLERS.
Commission Men to Appeal to Lesis-
iu.ure for Reduction.

An effort will be made in the Legisla-
lure to have that law repealed which fixes
the license of peddlers at $500 for the State

mission men believe that the present law
is unjust. and say that the reason OF
failure in the last Legislature was due 10
the lack of concerted action.
