Mann-elkins Act

The Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 was a Progressive reform that extended the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to include communications. Supported by U.S. President William Howard Taft, it also made the long-short haul clause of the original act more effective, i.e., it strengthened government regulation of the railroads. It was passed by the Senate with a vote of 50-12.
