CHANGE SOUGHT IN
ACT TO
PROTECT

first debate In the seventeenth legis-
lature in which any degree of heat
was shown was precipitated in the
house when house bill 6, introduced
by Representative W. H.. Edelman of
Sheridan county. came before the
house sitting as a ctIlmittee of the
whole. The bill is designed to amend
the Transient Merchants" license
law by eliminating from Section 3459,
Wyoming Compiled Statutes. 1920. a
clause exempting transient merchants
selling proprietary medicines from
wagons. from the operation of the
licensing law. Representative Ede.-
man. author of the bill. is a drug.
glst.
Several members of the house rep
resenting rural constituencies took
issue with the bill, asserting hat the
attempt to eliminate transient mer.
chants from the statutes exemptions
was designed to give resident dealers
, 1923-01-19

in drugs a monopoly Of the market.
Tho transient drug dealer. they
argued, is n necessity in rural com
munities. Furthermore. they could
see no logical reason why II a tran
silent merchant shall be permitted to
sell chickens and stock food from a
wagon without a license, he should
not be permitted also to sell ~proprie-
tory medicines under the same cir
cumstances.
The bill eventually was recommend
ed by the committee of the whole for
favorable action by the house. but
when the committee arose and report.
ed to the House Representative w. c.
Deleney of jackson renewed the fight
against it by moving that the recon.
mendation for favorable action be
stricken from the committee's report.
The motion prevailed and the bill,
therefore. is left on the general file
for further consideration.

this session met Its fate while the
