the case of self-incrimination. All of these things grew
|
|
2
|
out of historic circumstances which sometimes people shed
|
|
3
|
blood over, sweat and torture and a lot of other things
|
|
4
|
that lie in back of these things being included in the
|
|
5
|
Bill of Rights.

Well, I think this probably points out most
|
|
7
|
of the things that I wish to speak about, except I would,
|
|
8
|
of course, repeat, as I did before the other subcommittee,
|
|
9
|
my firm belief in Article 43, on education, and then, of
|
|
10
|
course, the inclusion of the agricultural use section of
|
|
11
|
the Constitution which the Grange together with the Farm
|
|
12
|
Bureau was largely responsible for having included. I
|
|
13
|
gave my argument two weeks ago before- the Committee. I
|
|
14
|
see no reason to repeat it.
|
|
15
|
I would say, "That monopolies are odious,
|
|
16
|
contrary to the spirit of a free government and the
|
|
17
|
principles of commerce, and ought not to be suffered."
|
|
18
|
first, the Grange has a very intimate experience with
|
|
19
|
this thing. That is what brought the Grange into being,
|
|
20
|
in the differentials in freight rates in the West and
|
|
21
|
Midwest and the power of the monopolies to control prices
