Description
A group of men stand before a large billboard filled with President Woodrow Wilson's proposals for big business and government regulation. The billboard reads: "The Great Insurance Companies Should be Curbed. The Inter-State Commerce Commission Should have power to Establish Maximum R.R. rates. A Law should be passed giving Some Body the Right to Supervise the Great Corporations. There Should be a Law passed to absolutely forbid Corporate Gifts to political Parties."
Lawmakers debate the anti-trust proposals of the Woodrow Wilson administration, in this political cartoon by John T. McCutcheon. Wilson, the twenty-eighth president (1913-1921), moved forward with an ambitious, progressive legislative agenda that included the creation of a Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act, an income tax, and implemented antitrust legislation and child labor reforms. His second term was marked by U.S. entry into the First World War.
