ask If their trouble Is not ours, and

If for no higher motive, we should
help them. All Of us want to get back

eral good than In the case Of other
industries. The spirit of American
democracy is unalterably opposed,
alike to enacted special privilege and
TO the special privilege Of unequal OPP
p~ortunlty that arises automatically
from the failure to correct alarinq
economic inequalities. / am opposed
to the injection Of government into
business, but l do believe that 1t Is an
essential function Of democratic gov
eminent to equalize opportunity SO
far as 1t is within its power to do so,
whether by the repeal Of archaic
statutes or the enactment Of modern
ones. If the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from ~endeavoring scientifically
to integrate their industry while other
Industries find a way to meet modern
conditions without violating such stat
utes, then 1t would seem reasonable
to find a way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The
law should operate equally in fact. Re-
pairing the economic structure on n
side is no Injustice to the other side,
which Is In good repair.
We have travelled a long way from
the old conception of government as
merely a defensive and policing agency;
and regulative, corrective, or equaliz-
ing legislation, which apparently is Of
a special nature, is often of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed a tariff act
that was avowedly for the protection
OF manufacturers; but a protective
tariff always has been defended as a
means of promoting the general good
through a particular approach; and
the statute books are filed with acts
for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,
and labor.
