We are requested by the editors of

national conference of the ''single tax
ers' as held at this Worlds fair in
the beginning of September. 1t was
largely attended, beth by delegates
and the public, and Cen. Weaver and
Mrs. Lease gave in theft formal adj
herence. The whole faith and prac-
tice of this earnest and energetic,
though perhaps misguided, body of
men is set forth in the platform adopt
ed and the proceedings of this confer
ence. We are asked to say that a copy
will be mailed free to any address by
sending postal to the Courier" ST.
Louis, Mo.
We have already said that if this
single tax gospel is true, it will revo-
lutionize our whole state of socie ty.
We, therefore, specially invite the
views of those who will point out
errors in it.
We are overwhelmed with single tax
literature, written and printed, mush
of it too valuable and interesting to
overlook; we are glad to get this, but
would be gladder still to hear the other
side. These columns are open. Do
not let your cases go by default ED.
