MUST HAVE
LICENSES
OPINION OF COUNTY ATTORNEY
ROY e. AYERS UPON THIS
SUBJECT.

County Attorney Roy E. Ayers has
given the following opinion in regard
to the licensing of peddlers, and it
will be of considerable interest just
now, in view of the questions involved
in the Hodgdon case:
The Opinion.
Mr.. e. P. Chandler, Treasurer.
Dear Sir: l am in receipt of yours
of the 3Oth inst, and note your in.
quiry regarding license Of pedd!ers,
travelling merchants and hawkers. In
reply, will say that the law regulating
this class of license in the state Of
Montana as amended by the laws OF
1905, and known as house bill No. 30i,
reads as follows, to-wit:
Every travelling merchant, hawk
er or peddler who carries pack and
vends goods, wares and merchandise
must pay license of $3.50 per quar-.
ter, and every travelling merchant,
hawker or pedller, who uses wagon,
animal, or other means of Transporter
ton other than on foot, must pay a
license of fifty dollars per quarter,
and every merchant who travels from
place to place and who is not included
in the above provisions and vends
goods. wares or merchandise at tenn
porary quarters, shall pay license
of fifty dollars per quarter; but the
peddler, hawker or travelling mer-
chant, who carries for sale and sells
only agricultural products raised by
himself, or articles manufactured by
himself is not included in the pro-
visions of this section
1t seems the legislative intent Is
plain, and I am of the opinion that any
merchant of this town, who takes his
goods to Kendall or Gilt Edge or any
other town of this county and estab
fishes temporary quarters for the sell
ing of the same, or any merchant who
comes into this town under the same
circumstances or who, under the same
circumstances, goes into any town 9th
err than the town he is licensed to dc
mercantile business in, comes under
the latter fifty dollar class.
And it is your duty as treasurer Of
this county to notify such persons
that said license is due and to proceed
to collect the same.
