Beggars Must Now
Have State License
"Mister, can you spare a dime"?
Maybe you can but before passing
it over ask to see the beggar's li
cense. Some people make a liv
ing by beginning rather than take
up a trade that will pay them a
living wage, and it is those people
toward whom North Carolina's
new solicitation's license law is
aimed.
During the last few months a
survey of individuals soliciting
alms for a livelihood has been con
ducted in the major cities of North
Carolina by a state committee in
cooperation with county commit
tees set up to study the situation.
While a detailed report will be
released to the public later, a
summary of information gained
by the survey brings out the fol
lowing points;
1. Transient or oUt-of-county
Solicitors are four times as nu
merous as beggars residing in a
community.
2. More than one-third of the
transient solicitors do not live in
North Carolina.
3. Ninety-three per cent of so
licitors are men.
4. The average weekly income
reported by the solicitors is be
tween $15 and $25 although one
1 man stated that his begging opera
tions netted an average of about
$15 a day.
5. Many beggars have refused
Social Security benefits on the
grounds that they can make more
money by begging than by follow
ing a legitimate trade for which
they have been or will be trained.
6. There are several outstanding
cases where men estimate they
