1t Is Called to Meet in Boulder on the 9TH
Of June, 1880.
BOULDER, Mont, May Z, 1s9o.-In accord
ance with the general sentiment of single
tax men throughout Montana, state
convention is hereby called to meet in
Boulder, Mont, on Thursday, June 5. 1890,
at IL a. M.
The object of the convention will be to
discuss the proper and most efficient meth
DDS of bringing to the attention OF the
people of the state the single-tax idea, or
any other plan which promises to relieve
the toiling millions of the burdens which
they are now uniustly compelled to bear
The question of state organization will be
considered, and, if such an organization is
effected. whether it shall be purely educa-
tional or shall become an active factor IN
| the political movements of the day.
To this convention are invited all SUD
porters of the single-tax doctrine; all who
believe that the earth belongs to the people;
all who believe that individual or exclusive
ownership of the natural opportunities OF
the earth inevitably leads to industrial
slavery. As this question is practically the
question of the just distribution of wealth,
the producers of the wealth of the country
have certainly a right to be heard in the
matter, and therefore all labor OrganizR-
tions and farmers alliances in the state are
invited to send delegates to the convention,
either as representing organized societies or
as representing bodies of private citizens.
The following single-tax men throughout
the state have authorized the attaching of
their names to this call:
