197.59 Hawking or peddling; exemption from license fees; municipal licensing; penalty for unlawful issuance of license.

No license fee or other charge provided by any law of the state shall be required by any veteran for the privilege of hawking or peddling goods and merchandise, not prohibited by law or ordinance, in the county where the veteran has established a bona fide residence, solely upon the veteran's own account. Nothing herein contained prevents any city, or other municipality from levying and collecting such license fees for hawking or peddling within its corporate limits. Upon application therefor, accompanied by proof of such discharge, to any clerk or other officer authorized to issue such license, the same shall forthwith be granted. Every such clerk or other officer issuing such license shall ascertain that the applicant is entitled thereto; and any such clerk or other officer issuing a license to any person who is not entitled to receive one under the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Every violation hereof is a misdemeanor, the minimum punishment whereof is a fine of $10.
