trouble at the meeting wa.s an echo of a banquet given l.y the league several months ago, at whi. single tax principles were discussed before prominent Boston merchants. Mr. I who was the princlp-il speaker night. doubted the value of banquets as a means of teaching single tax principles to the guests.

Here a member arose and questioned whether the principles of single tax were not misrepresented and mi.sconstrued at banquets of the league.
