1) In what ways did Congress and the President challenge the power of Railroads and Trusts? Congress passed the Hepburn Act of 1906, which restricted free passes and expanded the Interstate Commerce Commission. (Free passes: rewards offered to companies, in the form of free shipments; given to companies to encourage future business.) In 1902, President Roosevelt challenged the Northern Securities Company, a railroad trust company that sought to achieve a monopoly of the railroads in the Northwest. The Supreme Court upheld the President and the trust was forced to be dissolved. 2) How did Upton Sinclair s THE JUNGLE and botulism found in tainted meats lead to the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906? After botulism was found in American meats, foreign governments threatened to ban all American meat imports. President Roosevelt passed the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. The act stated that the preparation of meat shipped over state lines was subject to federal inspection. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was designed to prevent the adulteration and mislabeling of foods and pharmaceuticals. 3) What forms of Earth Control did President Roosvelt use and what is he responsible for? (Hint: See page 676. Some of you have been there!)
The first step towards conservation came with the Desert Land Act of 1887, in which the federal government sold dry land cheaply on the condition that the purchaser would irrigate the soil within 3 years. A more successful step was the Forest Reserve Act of 1891. It authorized the president to set aside public forests as national parks and other reserves. The Carey Act of 1894 distributed federal land to the states on the condition that it be irrigated and settled. President Roosevelt, a naturalist and rancher, convinced Congress to pass the Newlands Act of 1902, which authorized the federal government use money from the sale of public lands in western states to develop irrigation projects. In 1900, Roosevelt, attempting to preserve the nation's shrinking forests, set aside 125 million acres of land in federal reserves. Under President Roosevelt, professional foresters and engineers developed a policy of "multiple-use resource management." This policy sought to sustainably use federal lands for recreation, logging, watershed protection, and cattle grazing. 4) Discuss and be an expert on William Howard Taft s Dollar Diplomacy! + TAFTS TRUST BUSTING! Roosevelt gets ticked at Taft and runs again for President, coming out of retirement in 1912 running as an independent party: The Bull Moose Party. (I m not making this stuff up folks!) Taft encouraged Wall Street bankers to invest in foreign areas of strategic interest to the United States (dollar diplomacy). American bankers thus strengthened American defenses and foreign policies, while bringing prosperity to America. Japan and Russia controlled the railroads in China's Manchuria. President Taft feared that this monopoly would eventually hurt American merchants. In 1909, Secretary of State Philander C. Knox proposed that Americans buy the Manchurian railroads and then turn them over to China. Both Japan and Russia rejected the selling of their railroads. Taft the Trustbuster Taft brought 90 lawsuits against trusts during his 4 years in office, as opposed to Roosevelt's 44 suits in 7 years.
In 1911, the Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company, stating that it violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. Also in 1911, the Supreme Court laid out its "rule of reason" doctrine. This stated that a trust was illegal only if it unreasonably restrained trade. The Taft-Roosevelt Rupture In 1911, the National Progressive Republican League was formed with La Follette as its leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. La Follette was chosen because it was assumed that Roosevelt would not re-run for election. In February of 1912, Theodore Roosevelt decided to challenge Taft for the Republican presidential nomination. (La Follette was replaced by Roosevelt.) Roosevelt and Taft became opponents because Roosevelt felt that Taft had discarded many of Roosevelt's policies. Taft won the Republican nomination after Roosevelt Republicans refused to vote at the 1912 Republican convention, claiming fraud. Roosevelt continued on as a 3rd-party candidate.
