regarding the relationship between unemployment and land monopoly,
The Christian 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."

- 1917 - Re-introduced a bill for the federal taxation of land
values (previously presented in the last Congress by Warren
Worth Bailey). The bill provided for apportionment among the
States in proportion to population.
- 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 control 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."
