As President, William Taft signed and passed several significant pieces of legislation, including the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909, which reduced certain tariffs. He also championed the Children's Bureau Act of 1912, which established an organization to oversee child welfare. Taft did exercise his veto power on occasion, including a veto of the Arizona statehood bill in 1911 due to concerns over provisions in the state constitution related to judicial recall.

What was William Taft's political platform?
while Taft was in office he, unlike teddy roosevelt, used the justice department to prosecute and bust up trusts. roosevelt had used his force of personality and meetings that he organized to bust up specific trusts that he wanted gone. Taft delegated the responsibility to those in the justice department. therefore there were atleast four times as many anti-trust lawsuits under Taft than roosevelt. Also he allowed the first bill on a nationwide income tax to pass through congress. He also let bills that allow for state refferendums and the recall of elected officials pass through congress.
