Century. Reprinted in The Commonwealth, September.
Quote: "God created the earth
for the uses of all mankind, but man has impiously violated the
benevolent intentions of the Creator by giving ownership to the
few of that element of nature which God intended for the use of
all. ...The principle advocated by Henry George and known as the
single tax will solve the unemployment and a lot of other
ecnomic problems. There is a direct relation between land and
labor."

Representative from the 21st Ohio District
- 1939 - Address, at a testimonial dinner in
his honor, 29 April. Reprinted in The Freeman, June. He
declared:
..."Freedom
comes first. Men and women must have the right to defend the
truth as they see it; to worship God as they see fit; to live as
they wish to live, so long as they do not interfere with the
rights of others.
... "No man should have an
advantage over his fellow-men through contorl of a natural
resource. Every man is entitled to protection from the products
his own efforts, but not for the products which belong to all of
us.
... "The government should
take the revenue from products of natural resources to pay the
costs of government and distribute the residue among all of us.
This would remove tax burdens, revive business and industry,
decrease prices and put idle men to work.
... "What folly it is to talk
of regulating monopoly, when we grant to an individual, or a few
individuals, control of the natural resources with which God has
so richly endowed our country. Monopoly of that kind cannot be
regulated. The only cure is to abolish it."
