Imposing License on Travel ing Picture En largers. COUNTY JUDGE DECIDES. Test Made By C. H. Camp bell, Representing Chicago Portrait Company. C. H. Campbell, representing a Chicago portrait company, who is canvassing this county with several assistants, taking orders for enlarged pictures, had the county attorney to arrest him Saturday to test the new revenue law imposing a license on picture enlarging houses who enlarge pictures and sell frames. County Judge Breathitt heard the case Saturday afternoon and held that Campbell and his associates were foreign manufacturers and un der the interstate commerce law had a right to sell goods to be delivered in the future without the payment of a license. Campbell produced a decision of the supreme court in a similar case from North Carolina in 1903. Under this decision, the sec tion of the new revenue law bearing on this business is held to be uncon stitutional. The city ordinance along the same line is yet to be construed, as it is somewhat different from the state, law imposing a license on the occupation of the individual.
