Excerpt from St. Louis History of the Fourth City, 1763-1909, Vol. 3 Mr. Judson, however, is not learned in the law alone, for he has studied long and carefully the subjects that are to the statesman and to the man of affairs of the greatest import, - the questions of finance, political economy, sociology, and has through clear and logical utterance presented his views from the lecture platform, being many times called upon to address public gatherings. In 1887 he addressed the Commercial Club of St. Louis upon the subject, What Shall the State Teach? The following year spoke before the Missouri Bar Association on The Rights of Minority Stockholders in Missouri, in 1890 he presented to the Commercial Club of St. Louis The Relation of the State to Private Busi ness Associations, and in 1891 spoke before the American Bar Association upon The Liberty of Contract Under the Police Power. His address 011 Justice in Taxation as a Remedy for Social Discontent was given before the Round Table Club of St. Louis in 1898, and in 1900 he addressed the American Economics Association on the Taxation of quasi-public Corporations. The above list is sufficient to indicate somewhat of the extent of his researches and investigation.
