State v. Turnmire
State v. Turnmire
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of tbe court.
Action by the state to recover of E. E. Turnmire $300 unpaid license, $15 damages and costs based upon tbe following
This appeal is from that judgment, and the contention is that the demurrer should have been sustained for these reasons: That the defendant is sought to be charged with liability under Chapter 110, Laws of 1911, in two particulars, vis.: Soliciting orders and pursuing the business of itinerant vender. That the charge of soliciting orders is complete since the allegation is that this was done without a license, but is ineffectual because the statute, in so far as it assumes to license or prohibit the soliciting of orders, is unconstitutional. That the charge of itinerant vending is incomplete, since it is not alleged that this was done without a license.
The ruling assailed was correct. The complaint is not a model, but its manifest import is that the defendant, without first procuring a license, engaged in the business of itinerant vender and in the business of soliciting orders. Therefore, whatever may be Said of the provisions of the statute relating to soliciting orders, the complaint is sufficient to charge liability for the license as an itinerant vender.
The judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
