Roosevelt argues that agricultural interests should be equally represented in social and economic discussions.

Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great results.
The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride, he will see to it that others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own.
Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
