BARRIERS ARE At ODDS


Since the expiration of the time limi
when BARRIERS could get their licenses re-
newed without the payment OF more than
81, the tonsorialsts who were late have
been trying In every way possible TO get
the right to work without the payment
Of the five dollars that 10 now required.
They are using the various senator's
and representatives from their respective
towns and o1ttes TO see IL the examiners
are susceptible TO political influence.
Since the opening OF the session OF the
legislature some Of the members have ap-
peared with the old license cards-a dol
lar blu and an excuse for the tonsor1al-
list. that In usually a hard luck story.
Tho barber IL usually described as
poor man with q large family and, on ac-
count OF sickness among the children, was
prevepted from getting his license re-
newed.
The eaaminers while they are sympa-
thetfo as the average person OF course
are greatly moved by tho sad stories. and
are nearly moved to tears but cannot see
their way clear to discriminate IN favor
OF the poor msn. as the law makes no
such provision. The only way they see
Is that some of the politicians who show
such an interest, provide the FIVE the
law requires before the man continues
his labors.
