The only common element in the two statements is the use of the word "compensate."
Roosevelt was speaking of John D. Rockefeller's founding and ownership of Standard Oil; TR was known as the "trust buster." Rockefeller's phillanthropy later in his life is well-documented.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil>>In 1896, John Rockefeller retired from the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, the holding company of the group, but remained president and a major shareholder. Vice-president John Dustin Archbold took a large part in the running of the firm. In the year 1904, Standard Oil controlled 91% of oil production and 85% of final sales in the United States.[21] At this point in time, state and federal laws sought to counter this development with "antitrust" laws. In 1911, the U.S. Justice Department sued the group under the federal antitrust law and ordered its breakup into 34 companies.
Mckay's words spoke of the LDS belief in the importance of families and the necessity of adopting practices that contributed to their well-being.
