The farmer did not expect nor demand favors from the Government. all he asked was a fair return upon his investment and labor. all he expected was equality of economic opportunity. all he asked was that if he should continue subject to the laws and conditions of competition. the other groups and classes in our economic life should be subjected to the same laws and conditions.

He did object to having his property valued for taxable purposes above what he could procure for it upon the market while many groups of capital were able to conceal their assets in various ways.
