"A bill that will meet with the ap-
proval of the licensed liquor dealers,
but which is likely to be frowned upon
by the itinerant sellers of vinous, malt
and brewed liquors, was introduced in
the House last week by Representative
Leopold Fuerth, of this county. The
bill is intended to protect those who are
forced to pay license to do business
against agents who secure their orders
by Office to Office and house to house
visits, selling entirely from samples.
Representative Fuerth's bill specifies
that no person, firm or corporation,
+ shall sell wines, malt or brewed liquors
within the state by sample, without first
having obtained a license therefor.
Such licenses are to be granted by the
state treasurer and will be known as
"Sample Liquor Merchants Licenses. "
Licenses will cost 500. Convicted viola
tors of the statute will be fined not less
than 500 nor more than 81 900.
