MT. Editor: In the proposed ordi- nance relating to peddlers'S licenses or dained by that august body the | court of common council of the city l of Norwich Feb. 3, 1918. the said com mon council is running up against a l snag in the shape of Chapter 221, Pub lie Acts, state of Connecticut, approved Aug I2 19o9 and which has never show how the court of common council of the city of Norwich. can set them selves up above the legislature of the
 state. Section 1 of the proposed city section 1 of the legislative act of Aug. 12, 1909. Section of the same act knocks section 1 of the city ordinance into snnithereens. Said section l, city those exempted by the statutes of this state shall sell upon the streets, walks, or public grounds of the city Of Nor wfch, groceries. meats. provisions, disc or shall peddle or solicit sales of such merchandise from house to house within said city unless having. li- cense from the court of common coun- cil of the city of Norwich.
 Now, who are exempted from this license by the statutes of the state Farmers and gardeners of the produce Of their farms and gardens, persons who sell distribute and deliver ice, milk. teas. eoffees spices, groceries g conditional sales of merchandise, so according to the laws of the state all persons who deal in any of the above mentioned articles are exempt from the provisions of section 1, city or dinance and again section 1 could be so construed that every grocer butcher, and fruit stand would have to take out a license and Ing a metal badge around "a sort of now you see it and now you don't.
 AS it looks to me, the only persons not exempt and eligible to license and to wear the metal badge are the pack peddlers, soap distributors and spec tacie agents The rag and old iron gatherers are taken care Of by the junk dealers law.

HE PRESIDENT SUSTAINED.

The veto by the president of the i'm migration bill has been sustained through the vote of the house of rep resentatives after the senate had voted to override It. This shows an instance where the house gave graver consid- eration to the action of the president than the senators did-
 This dfsposes Of the plan to place the lfteracy test as a stumbling block for the immigrant and makes it neces- sary to meet the restriction of sunde- sirables that same further effort be devoted to the solving of the prob fem. The feeling of the country is well reflected by the Boston Adyer- tfser when it says:
 ssThe great bulk of the American people will stand with President Taft upon his veto of the immigration bill. Although he did not find fault with A1 the substance of the bill, he vetoed the measure because of the require ment of an educational test. MT. Taft gave a splendid example of a pains taking executive in the way in which he strove to get information and hear arguments upon the question. When he finally decided to veto the bill it was because he was convinced that inability to read and write is no assur- ance that man or woman applying for admission to the United States will be an unworthy citizen. In countries where popular education is easily had, illiteracy is almost a proof of a moral or mental lack. but this is not so in many of the countries from which the United States has drawn it's people. Some of the best pioneers in America have been unable to do more than make their mark. but have been a credit to their country, nevertheless.'

 Now this proposed ordinance of Feb 3 1913 by the court of common coun- ell of the city of Norwich is class leg islation, illegal contrary to the laws of the state-in fact, usurping the pow CTS of the legislature and I defy the genius of a Philadelphia lawyer to put any other construction on the matter.
