  • 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."
