IrINERANr VENDOR HARD HIT.
New State Law Appears to Have
Stopped Business.

Jefferson City.-The itinerant ven
dor Law passed by the last legislature,
requiring all persons who propose TO
engage in the character Of business
which falls within the purview of this
enactment, to deposit $500 with the
secretary of state in the nature Of 8
bond, and to pay SIS annually for q
license, threatens to put the itinerant
merchant. out of business altogether.
Not a single license has been issued
by the secretary o. state, although
there have been a few inquiries about
the license fee, the bond and other
phases of the law. The retail mer-
chants of St. Louis and other large
cities drafted the measure, and it
passed the legislature and was signed
by the governor.
The law was intended primarily to
restrict the operations of persons e
gagged in so-called assignment" fire
and water" and bankrupt" sales of
merchandise. The law requires the
itiDerant vendor to state under oath
to the secretary of state the charac-
ter of the sale, and its cause, includ-
ing the of the companies, firms
or individuals from whom he obtained
the merchandise.
