In some way the inequality in the prices of agricultural products and of other commodities must be overcome. One definite policy of the Federal Government and of State governments also. which has been developed is a protective system much broader. much more comprehensive than our policy of tariff protection. This protective system has insured privileges and benefits to various industries and interests through the provisions of our immigration and labor legislation. interstate commerce laws. oar Federal reserve act and other banking laws. and why should this protective system not include the industry of agriculture? Why should the purchasing power of the farmers dollar not be equal to that of the other industrial groups? Why should the cost of farm production be determined in a great degree by the higher standard of living here and our protective tariff system. while the selling price is determined by worldmarket prices?
