  1. Interesting. I wonder at the time, if he was influenced by the short lived, spontaneous political movement in the state legislature that advocated licensing and regulating newspaper throwers?

    With passage of the bill, newspaper throwers would have to pay for a license, drug screening, background checks and several day long training sessions before anyone could mount a bike with papers to deliver.

    Several unregulated trained paper throwers were implicated in throwing papers for subscribers into pools, ditches and behind shrubs according to advocates of the new law.

    Had it passed, paper throwers were going to get paid a much higher salary although much less of them would get employed.
