16 Theodore Roosevelt and Progressivism Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902 United Mine Workers strike over wages, working conditions, union recognition mine owners refused to negotiate or arbitrate with workers TR threatened to operate coal mines with Federal troops owners agreed to Federal arbitration first time the threat of Federal power was used against capital, not labor. 16
17 Roosevelt and Progressivism 17 Roosevelt s program was the Square Deal for capital, labor, & the public control of corporations consumer protection conservation of natural resources
18 The Square Deal #1: Control of Corporations TR urged Congress to create a Dept. of Commerce & Labor and a Bureau of Corporations (1903) both were authorized to investigate business combinations, and harmful practices to interstate commerce 18
19 Northern Securities Company Case (1902) was a railroad holding company sought to achieve a monopoly in the Northwest. Supreme Court ordered the trust dissolved ruled it was a combination in restrain of trade under the Sherman Antitrust Act TR was then encouraged to seek other reforms 19
20 Railroad Regulation Elkins Act (1903) 20 made granting and accepting secret rebates illegal railroads had to publish their rates and make them public
21 Hepburn Act (1906) expanded Interstate Commerce Commission, gave it real power to regulate rates forbade free railroad passes, except to railroad employees I.C.C. could nullify existing rates, and stipulate the maximum rates that were allowed. The Hepburn Act forced the railroads to surrender their interlocking interests in steamship lines and coal companies 21
22 TR s Trust-busting Philosophy smashing all monopolies was not good for the country 2. there were good trusts, and bad trusts. 3. government should regulate, not fragment the big business combines. SYMBOLISM--> the government, not big business ruled the country
23 Square Deal # 2: Consumer Protection 23 Policy centered on Public Health measures Sinclair s The Jungle exposed the meat packing industry foreign governments threatened to ban importation of U.S. meat Meat Inspection Act (1906) passed by Congress federal inspection of meat shipped interstate Pure Food and Drug Act (1906) prevent adulteration/ mislabeling of foods and drugs
24 Square Deal # 3: Conservation of Natural Resources by 1900, U.S. faced exhaustion of discovered mineral and natural resources. conservationist TR took action NEW LANDS ACT (1902) (water in the west, why? $ from sale of western lands --> irrigation projects in the West established revolving fund to pay for more water projects effect--> rivers dammed, land became irrigated, productive Conservation may be TR s most enduring tangible achievement 24
25 Problems in the Republican Party: Roosevelt s Panic of TR s actions during his second term caused uncertainty in the business community TR lost some influence after his 1904 re-election by announcing that he would not run in 1908 (he became a lame duck) TR s Square Deal program unsettled Wall Street for a short time
26 The Panic of 1907 paved the way for needed financial reforms need for a more elastic money supply exposed need for ways to increase money in circulation Congress passed the Aldrich Vreeland Act which allowed national banks to issue emergency currency backed by specified collateral foreshadowed the Federal Reserve Act of
27 Problems in the Republican Party Roosevelt and Taft 27 Roosevelt chose Wm. Howard Taft to be his successor in 1908 Candidates in the 1908 Campaign Republicans: Taft (winner) Democrats: Wm. Jennings Bryan Socialists: Eugene V. Debs
28 Theodore Roosevelt s Contributions Enlarged the power and prestige of the Presidency 2. Roosevelt helped shape the Progressive movement of his times, and future liberal reforms of the 20th Century
29 29 Progressivism: The Presidency of William Howard Taft
30 Taft as President 30 Wm. Howard Taft was mildly progressive. He was wedded to the status quo He came under the influence of the Old Guard of the Republican Party. The Old Guard was very resistant to the progressive reforms introduced by Roosevelt.
31 Dollar Diplomacy 31 Taft believed the U.S. should use foreign policy to protect American business interests and American investments abroad. He used Wall Street investments in foreign nations to uphold our foreign policy. Wall Street invested in areas of strategic concern to the U.S. Far East, Caribbean, Central America
32 Taft s Progressivism:
33 Taft s Progressivism 33 Taft, as a trust-buster, had an outstanding record. 1911, The Standard Oil Company was ordered dissolved. The Supreme Court redefined the Sherman Anti-trust act. Added the Rule of Reason : The Sherman Act outlawed business combinations that unduly or unreasonably restrained trade.
34 The Tariff Question 34 Taft endorsed a lowering of the tariff in the 1908 Presidential campaign. In Congress, the bill that passed actually raised tariff rates, and was pro-business. Taft signed the new Payne-Aldrich Tariff in This new tariff outraged progressives and alienated Taft from the progressive wing of the Republican party.
35 The Ballinger-Pinchot Controversy:1910 Grew out of western opposition to conservation measures because they inhibited the development of the West. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger opened western public lands to corporate development. 35
36 Gifford Pinchot of the Agriculture Department (a Roosevelt confidant) criticized Ballinger s actions as being detrimental to the conservation effort. Taft dismissed Pinchot Taft threw his weight behind the conservatives and supported Ballinger. Ballinger opened over 1 million acres of land that Roosevelt had reserved for conservation. 36
37 37 This event exposed the wide gap between the progressive wing of the Republican Party and the Old Guard. Reformers believed Taft was undermining Roosevelt s conservation program.
38 Speaker of the House Controversy Joe Cannon was the most powerful Speaker, since Henry Clay. Cannon opposed nearly all social-welfare programs and as Chairman of the House Rules Committee. He decided which bills would be discussed. Progressive members wanted to take some of the Speaker s powers away. Conservatives opposed any erosion of the Speaker s powers. Taft further alienated the progressive wing by supporting Cannon. 38
39 The 1910 Congressional Election 39 Many progressives campaigned against Taft-supported candidates. Roosevelt campaigned for a number of these progressives. TR s speeches called for New Nationalism, urged the federal government to increase its power to solve social and economic abuses. Control of Congress split: Dem/House; Rep/Senate.
40 The Split in the Republican Party 40 At the Republican National Convention in 1912, progressive Republicans supported LaFollette. Roosevelt refused to support either LaFollette, or Taft and announced that he was running for president. Roosevelt openly split with Taft and the Old Guard. Roosevelt had decided that the policies of Taft were not progressive enough.
41 41
42 Taft, and the Old Guard, controlled the Republican Convention machinery and denied Roosevelt the nomination. Roosevelt and his followers walked-out of the convention, proclaimed themselves to be the progressive party. The Progressives (Bull Moose Party) nominated Roosevelt for president, with Gov. Hiram Johnson for vice-president. Platform included elimination of child labor, women s suffrage, 8 hour work-day 42
