Judge Clark in district court sus-
tanned the motion of the attorneys
for Mr.. Gandeau. salesman for the
Ress1er Suit & Dress Company OF
Clay Center, to dismiss to the action
of the City of Abilene against the
company, holding that the city can
not collect a license for the COM
pany's sales of goods here. The
company sent here as to other towns
a collection of readytO wear two
days week and was asked to pay
$25 license fee day. 1t refused,
was fined in city court and appealed
the case. The goods were sold in a
store of town and the court held that
this did not authorize the impOsi-
ton Of a peddler's license on the
salesman. The company cOntended
in asking for dismissal of the case
that the tax was unauthorized and
unfair.
