State Checks All Peddlers in Wisconsin
Madison special reports that Wisconsin is cracking down on itinerant peddlers and showmen, collecting license fees under the motor vehicle department. Receipts vastly exceed last year under agriculture, with about 8 thousand dollars in July and expectations higher for the year. Licenses apply to circuses, carnivals, transient merchants, and traveling sellers while farm produce vendors are exempt. Veterans with 25 percent or more disability also qualify for exemption. About 50 licenses monthly are issued to such veterans.

Emergency Board Plans Tough Policy In Considering Claims
Wisconsin emergency board members criticize local tax policies that hide deficits by inflating local rates and appealing for aid. They expect a stricter approach to requests from distressed rural districts and may push lawmakers to ease local tax caps and raise county levies from 1.0 to 1.25 percent. The board allocated funds to several districts and denied or deferred others while noting ongoing rural financial distress, plus a note on insect taste organs in legs.
