Newlands Reclamation Act
President Theodore Roosevelt signed a bill to authorize the federal government to commission water diversion, dry lands, in the west. I believe this is a part of fostering efficiency. -
Coal Strike of 1902
Workers fought for higher wages and shorter hours of work. I think that this falls under Creating Economic Reform. -
Created Department of Commerce and Labor
President Theodore Roosevelt found this campaign. It was controlling the excesses of big businesses. I think this is part of creating economic reform. -
United States Forest Service
Management of forest reserves transferred from the General Land office, to the department of Bureau of Forestry. I think this is a part of the fostering efficiency. -
Meat Inspection Act
It was a law that makes adulting meat a crime. Misbranding meat products and being sold as food are slaughtered. I think this is a part of promoting more improvement. -
Food and Drug Administration
President Theodore Roosevelt signed into a campaign stating that these new regulatory powers are aggressive. It was towards the manufacturers of foods with chemical additives. I believe this is a part of promoting moral improvement. -
Bureau of Mines
The united states government conducted research on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources. I think that this is a part of fostering efficiency. -
Children´s Bureau
William Howard Taft created this. Improving the lives of children, and families. He signed a new law bill created a new organization that protected social welfare. Today, the operations involve improving child abuse protection, foster care, and adoption. -
Revenue Act of 1913
This was when they reimposed income tax, and lowered basic tariff rates from 40% to 25%. I think that this fits into the creating economic reform goal of progressivism. -
System of National Parks
