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."
