In other words. it is to compensate agriculture in whole or In part for the burden of overhead that is hung on agricultures shoulders by our protective policy. our minimum wage law. our restricted immigration behind which labor can organize and force its wage scale higher. our time and a half for overtime. our tariffs that protect industry from foreign competition when industry pays that wage scale and extracts from the consuming public its 10. 15. or 20 percent return on the investment. Frankly. we do not feel too critical of the author of this article or of others. even Mr. Fischer. the author of the now famous.
