Two Years of Taft In the White House
William E Trigham reviews two years of Taft’s presidency noting a downward tariff revision leading to a surplus, railroad rate halting injunctions, and ICC rejection of rate hikes. Taft also pushes mine reform safety measures, workers compensation, and tariff revision by principle. He opens China to American trade, excludes Castro from Venezuela, and prevents Central America war. He supports penny postage parcels post and expands magazine advertising, abolishes white slavery, and reshapes the Supreme Court. Public trust in Taft’s court selections remains high as Panama Canal work advances.
