The poetic young man was talking
about winter. He said softly: "See

"That's something of your own,

HITS AT DAVENPORT
LICENSE ORDINANCE
Rock islander Says That Peculiar Act
Went Out Of Date With
Boston Tea Party.

Among all the leading legal mon
strosities brought forth by the solons
who are entrusted with the power of
enacting ordinances in the cities and
villages of the United States, the ped
dlers' license ordinance of Davenport
easily holds first place" said a Rock
Island citizen to an Argus reporter to-
day. What genius first conceived it
and secured its passage is unknown TO
me, but it seems altogether probable
that the author of this remarkable law
and the councilmen who passed it had
but lately emigrated to this country and
still imagined that the despotism under
which they were born could be trans
ferred TO this country.
THE ordinance, according to the city
officers, provides that any person TAX
ing an order for goods to be delivered
within 10 days is a peddler and will be
obliged to take out peddler's license.
The absurdity of the ordinance is APP
parent on its face. It's effort is to make
nearly every merchant in Davenport a
peddler, 10 oblige every travelling sales
man to take out peddler's license, to
make every newsboy. milkman and ice
man an offender and to encourage the

worst system of graft ever devised to
enrich the police force.
In executing the law, the city au-
thorities do not stop at state lines, but
exercise Jurisdiction over citizens Of
Illinois.
1.-The United States supreme court
has repeatedly held that in matters per-
tanning 10 interstate commerce no state
can interfere and that congress alone
can regulate commerce between the
states. The Davenport authorities pay
no attention to this little restriction,
but may treat as an offender any Rock
Island merchant who takes orders in
Davenport and delivers his goods with
in the sacred limit Of 10 days
Curious distinctions are made in en-
forcing the ordinance The man who
stops at a SO day hotel is not likely
to be disturbed. Some poor old woman
who sells perfumes or writing paper is
smilingly told by the license officials
that she must not deliver her goods in
less than 10 days.
"A large number of the American
people believe that not even can the
United States government impose con-
stitutionally discriminating duty up
on foreign shipments. but the cock-sure
Davenport officials are positive in their
belief that they can enclose their city
with Chinese wall of license taxes to
prevent American citizens from COM
peting with their local merchants.
Absolute freedom of trade between
the states is one of the fundamental
principles of our government, and a
few lessons in the primary elements of
liberty would do the Davenport officials
much good. The kind of legislation in
vogue at Davenport went out of date
in this county with the Boston tea par
