Before this act: CAVEAT EMPTOR - The presence and amount of 11 dangerous ingredients, including heroin, morphine, cocaine, and alcohol, had to be labeled on all drugs and foods. The law forbade adding substances to food so as to conceal inferiority, to substitute for something else, or to make the food injurious to health, and it was forbidden to market a food that was filthy or decomposed.

68 Mr. Rockefeller has not squandered his income. He has applied it for thirty-five years to accumulating not only oil property but real estate railroad stock, iron mines, copper mines, anything and everything which could be bought cheap by temporary depressing and made to yield rich by his able management. For thirty-five years he has worked for special privileges giving him advantages over competitors, for thirtyfive years he has patiently laid net-works around property he wanted, until he had it surely corralled and could seize it; for thirty-five years he has depreciated values when necessary to get his prey. And to-day he still is busy. In almost every great financial maneuvre in the country is felt his supple, smooth hand with its grip of steel, and while he directs that which is big, nothing is too small for him to grasp.

79 State Reforms by 1920, 20 states had adopted one of these: Recall Allows voters to petition to have an elected representative removed from office. Initiative Referendum Allows voters to petition state legislatures in order to consider a bill desired by citizens. *Drafted by citizens can either be accepted by Legislature or go to voters Allows voters to decide if a bill or proposed amendment should be passed. Secret Ballot Privacy at the ballot box ensures that citizens can cast votes without party bosses knowing how they voted. Direct Primary Ensures that voters select candidates to run for office, rather than party bosses.
80 Gray Davis CA Governor recalled in 2003
81 Recall WA state Article I, 33 of the Washington Constitution says that a recall can only occur if the targeted public official has engaged in the "commission of some act or acts of malfeasance or misfeasance while in office, or who has violated his oath of office." Signature requirement 25 or 35% depending on position
82 Recent Initiatives 2/3 needed to change an initiative (difficult) Tax and fee increases Approved 1082 Industrial Insurance Rejected 1098 Establishing a state income tax Rejected 1100 Liquor retail Rejected 1105 Liquor wholesale Rejected 1107 Reversing certain 2010 amendments to state law Approved State Expenditures on Transportation Rejected 1163 Long-Term Care Workers Approved 1183 Privatization of Liquor Sales Approved

84 NATIONAL LEVEL 17 th Amendment: Direct Election of Senators (1913) Increased voters power and reduced corruption in Senate
85 17 th Amendment: Direct Election of Senators (1913) Increased voters power and reduced corruption in Senate
86 Patronage practice of giving out government jobs as favors to loyal party workers Patronage oftentimes led to corruption. Examples: Jobs were frequently given to unqualified people. I ve got to thank Uncle Billy for getting me this cool job. Well a little joke never hurt anyone, right?
87 President James Garfield attempted to reform the spoils system.
88 An angry office seeker (Charles Guiteau) assassinated Garfield before he could reform the system (in office only 200 days)
89 Garfield believed that civil service jobs should be given to people based on merit and ability, not political connections. Pendleton Civil Service Commission (1883) - began to award jobs based on the results of an exam.
90 The Emergence of Political Machines Organized group that controls a city s political party Give services to voters, businesses for political, financial support Example: firms that contribute to the machine receive gov t contracts, tax breaks Behind the scenes control of elections (funding), politicians Often used dishonest ways to get income
91 Recruiting Followers: What tells in holdin your grip on your district is to go right down among the poor families and help them. I've got a regular system for this. If there's a fire in Ninth or Tenth or Eleventh Avenue, for example, any hour of the day or night, I'm usually there with some of my election district captains as soon as the fore engines. If a family is burned out I don't I don't ask them if they are Republicans or Democrats, and I don't refer them to the Charity Organization Society, which would investigate their case in a month or two and decide if they are worthy of help about the time they are dead from starvation. I just get quarters for them, buy clothes for them if their clothes were all burned up, and fix them up until they get things runnin' again. It's philanthropy, but it's politics too - mighty good politics. Who can tell me how many votes one of those fires brings me? The poor are the most grateful people in the world, and, let me tell you, they have more friends in their neighborhoods than the rich have in theirs...
92 Recruiting Followers Another thing, I can always get a deserving man a job. I make it a point to keep track of jobs, and it seldom happens that I don't have a few up my sleeve ready for use. I hear a young feller that's proud of his voice... I ask him to join our Glee Club. He comes up and sings, and he's a follower of Plunkitt for life. Another young feller gains a reputation as a baseball player in a vacant lot. I bring him into our baseball club. That fixes him. You'll find him working for my ticket at the polls next election. I rope them all in by givin' them opportunities to show off themselves off. I don't trouble them with political arguments. --George Washington Plunkitt, Politician, New York, 1889
93 William Boss Tweed Kept Democratic Party in power in NYC called Tammany Hall, formed the Tweed Ring Bought votes, encouraged corruption, controlled NYC politics
94 Officeholders stole public money. William Marcy Tweed as a Robin Hood? In the three or four years that Tweed and his group were in control the city debt rose from about $30 million to close to $100 million. Tweed Ring milked the city with false leases, padded bills, false vouchers, unnecessary repairs and overpriced goods
95 Who stole the people s money? Twas Him
96
97 Muckrakers and Reform Efforts Let s stop them damned pictures, the Boss supposedly said. I don t care so much what the papers write about my constituents can t read but damn it, they can see pictures. Boss Tweed Muckraker: Thomas Nast, cartoonist for Harper s Weekly Reform: - Tweed was arrested - Good government leagues were formed to replace corrupt leaders.
98 Muckrakers and Reform Efforts Reinhart, Charles S. He Tries to Steal Away. Harper s Weekly. July 17, 1875

Pendergast During the Great Depression: hemanipulated elections and undermined prohibition, but he also kept Kansas City working Boston's James Michael Curley Chicago's Richard J. Daley Mayor 21 years last of the big city bosses Possibly stuffed ballot boxes for JFK 1960
101 December 9, 2008 ILLINOIS GOVERNOR ARRESTED IN OBAMA SUCCESSOR PROBE RELEASED AFTER COURT APPEARANCE CHICAGO - Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on Tuesday on charges he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder in what a federal prosecutor called a "corruption crime spree."
