class who are non resident.
I hold, therefore that Section

as it cannot apply to all drum-

cannot apply to any drummers
and is therefore inoperative and

Section 51, Revenue Act of 1897
provides that oEvery person, firm,

engage 1D business of selling or
offering for sale by a drummer or
with or witnout sam-
ple, goods, wares oF merchandise
of any description, in this Stale,
shall, before so selling or offering
for sale any such goods, wares OF
merchandise, pay to the State
Treasurer a tax of fifty dollars
($50.00) and obtain a license,
whieh shall operate one year from
its date.�
[tis evident that the General
Assembly, by saying oByery per-
gon, firm, company OF corporation
meant that this tax should apply
to all drummers slike, both for-
eign and resideat. But as the
Supreme courts, both national
and State, have decided that @
State can not tax foreign drum-
mer, therefore this Section is 1n-
operetive and yoid as applied to
foreign drummers. It is further
evident that as the section was
intended to apply to all dium-
mers alike, and can not apply to
foreign drummers, it should not,
and cannot justly apply to resi-
dert drummers. It is, aleo, evi-
T dent that the Legislature intended
to put this tax upon @ class. If
