When should the Government Intervene?

Directions: Read each of the situations below and decide whether or not government intervention should occur. The legality or illegality of the situation is not the issues, nor is whether or not the government currently intervenes. Simply focus on whether or not government intervention is appropriate. Be prepared to defend your reasoning.

Incident Intervene Do Not Intervene

Reason

A toy company produces an inexpensive toy designed and labeled for use by older children. In the hands of younger children, however, the toy could be dangerous.

An employer in a northern state refuses to keep the heat above 55 degrees during the winter.Fifteen percent of Americans live in poverty.A woman refuses to rent a room in her house to an Asian-American.A company is so large that it is able to force smaller competitors out of business through price wars.A community refuses to build low-income housing within the city limits.A landlord raises the rent in his apartment house twenty percent every year.A business refuses to hire union members.The makers of a ring advertise that wearing it cures a specific disease. They include testimonials from people who claim the ring cured them of the disease. There is no scientific evidence supporting these claims, however.

The number of homeless people rises significantly.

Write a general statement explaining when, or under what circumstances, the government should become involved in public issues.

Tenements in New York CityIn How the Other Half Lives, Jacob Riis, a Danish immigrant who came to the United States in 1870, exposed the slum conditions in New York City tenement buildings using both the written word and the newly invented camera. Read his account and list the social ills described.

Lest anybody flatter himself with the idea that these were evils of a day that is happily past and may safely be forgotten, let me mention here three very recent instances of tenement-house life that came under my notice. One

was the burning of a rear house in Mott Street. The fire made homeless ten families, who had paid an average of $5 a month for their mean little cubby-holes. The owner himself told me that it was fully insured for $800, though it brought him in &600 a year rent. He evidently considered himself especially entitled to be pities for losing such valuable property.

Another was the case of a hard-workig family of man and wife, young people from the old country, who took poison together in a Crosby Street tenement because they were “tired.” There was no other explanation, and noe was neede when I stood in the room in which they had lived. It was in the attic with sloping ceiling and a single window so far out on the roof that it seemed not to belong to the place at all. With scarcely room enough to turn around in, they had been forced to pay five dollars and a half a month in advance.

The third instance was that of a colored family of husband, wife, and baby in a wretched rear rookery in West Third Street. Their rent was eight dollars and a half for a single room on the top-story, so small that I was unable to get a photograph of it even by placing the camera outside the door. Three short steps across either way would have measured its full extent.

Abuses in the Meat-Packing Industry

Upton Sinclair, in his best-selling book The Jungle, described conditions in the meat-packing industry. Read and list the abuses described:

There was never the least attention paid to what was cut up for sausage; there would come all the way back from Europe old sausage that had been rejected and that was mouldy and white – it would be dosed with borax and glycerine, and dumped into the hoppers, and made over again for home consumption. There would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers had tramped and

spit uncounted bullions of consumption germs. There would be meat stored in great piles in rooms; and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it. It was too dark in these storage places to see well, but a man could run his hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats. These rats were nuisances, and the packers would put poisoned

7


bread out for them, they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together…the meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one –there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit.

There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner, and so they made a practice of washing them in the water that was to be ladled into the sausage. There were the butt-ends of smoked meat, and the scraps of corned beef, and all the odds and ends of the waste of the plants, that would be dumped into old barrels in the cellar and left there.

Under the system of rigid economy which the packers enforced, there were some jobs that it only paid to do once in a long time, and among these was the cleaning out of the waste barrels. Every spring they did it; and in the barrels would be dirt and rust and old nails and stale water – and cart load after cart load of it would be taken up and dumped into the hoppers with fresh meat, and sent out to the public’s breakfast. Some of they would make into “smoked” sausage –but as the smoking took time, and was therefore expensive, they would call upon their chemistry department, and preserve it with borax and color it with gelatin to make it brown. All of their sausage came out of the same bowl, but when they came to wrap it they would stamp some of it “special,” and for this they would charge two cents more a pound.

Abuses in City Government

Lincoln Steffens, a leading muckraker, exposed the political corruption in American cities. Read the following excerpt from his autobiography. Then list some of the abuses in city government that Steffens implies.

When I went to Cincinnati…I sought out Boss Cox. His office was over his “Mecca” saloon, in a mean little front hall room one flight up. The door was open. I saw a great hulk of a man, sitting there alone, his back to the door, his feet up on the window sill;

he was reading a newspaper. I walked in; he did not look up.

“Mr. Cox?” I said.

An affirmative grunt.

8


“Mr. Cos, I understand that you are the boss of Cincinnati.”

Slowly his feet came down, one by one. They slowly walked his chair around, and a stolid face turned to let two dark sharp eyes study me. While they measured, I gave my name and explained that I was a “student of politics, corrupt politics, and bosses.” I repeated that I have heard he was the boss of Cincinnati. “Are you?” I asked.

“I am,” he grumbled in his hoarse, throaty voice.

“Of course you have a mayor, and a council, and judges?”

“I have,” he admitted, “but” – he pointed with his thumb back over his shoulder to the desk – “I have a telephone, too.”

“And you have citizens, too, in your city? American men and women?”

He stared a long moment, silent, then turned heavily around back to his paper. That short interview was a summary of the truth about Cincinnati.

Abuses of Big Business

Ida Tarbell described the techniques used by industrialists such as John D. Rockefeller to build up his business, Standard Oil.

The success the firm of Rockefeller and Andrews achieved after Rockefeller went into it was explained for three or four years mainly by his extraordinary ability for bargaining and borrowing. Then the corporation’s chief

competitors began to suspect6 something. John Rockefeller might get his oil cheaper now and then, they said, but he could not do it often. He might have an unusual genius in his partner. But these things could not explain all. They

9


believed they bought, on the whole, almost as cheaply as he, and they knew they made as good oil and with as great, or nearly as great, economy. Where was his advantage? There was but one place where it could be, and that was in transportation. He must be getting better rates from the railroads than they were…

Very often people who admit the facts, who are willing to see that Mr. Rockefeller has used force and fraud to meet his goals, justify him by saying “It’s business.” “It’s business” has come to be an excuse for hard dealing, sly tricks, special privileges. It is a common enough thing to hear men arguing that the ordinary laws of right and wrong do not apply in business.

Now, if the Standard Oil Company were the only business in the country guilty of the practices which have given it monopolistic power, this story never would have been written.

Were it alone in these methods, public anger would long ago have destroyed the Standard Oil Company.

But it is simply the most obvious examples of what can be done by these practices. The methods it employees are employed by all sorts of business men, from corner grocers up to bankers.

If exposed, they are excused on the ground that this is business. If the point is pushed, frequently the defender of the practice falls back on the Christian doctrine of charity, and points that we are only human and must allow for each other’s weaknesses! – an excuse which, if carried to its conclusion, would leave our business men weeping on one another’s shoulders over human frailty while they picked one another pockets.

List the abuses of Standard Oil, suggested by Tarbell.

Working Conditions for Women and ChildrenThe journalist Florence Lucas Sanville worked in a Pennsylvania silk mill to gather facts for the following article that appeared in Harper’s Magazine in 1910. Read the excerpt and list the abuses that the author identifies.

The length of the factory girl’s work day varies from a legal limit of eight hours in one or two advanced states to ten, eleven, or twelve in less enlightened communities; and in some states

where the law still fails to protect its women from industrial exploitation the hours are regulated only by the needs of the industry.

10


In Pennsylvania the law prescribes a limit of twelve hours daily and sixty hours weekly for women over eighteen; for girls under that age the law restricts this further to fifty eight hours a week and an average of ten hours a day. But in the factories’ scattered throughout the villages and small mining towns, in which great numbers of young girls are employed, such as are established by the silk industry, I found in a period of industrial depression that over half of the mills were working ten and a half to eleven hours a day.

One of the silk factory workers I met was Lena R., a thin shouldered, anemic looking girl, with a sweet, bright face. She looked so young that I asked her age. “I’ll be fourteen in the winter,” she replied, and added that she had been doing night work since she was eleven.

One of the most striking evils in the physical environment of women in the factories is the lack of seats. Very few mills provide the seats which are required by the Pennsylvania law. This harmful effect of continuous standing upon young and growing girls is too well established a fact to require explanation. I could always detect the existence of this rule by a glance at the stocking feet of the workers, and the rows of discarded shoes. For after a few hours the strain upon the swollen feet becomes intolerable, and one girl after another discards her shoes.

Another harsh and very common practice of employers to cover the lower sashes of the windows with paint, and to fasten them so that they cannot be raised in hot weather. This is done so that the girls “don’t waste time looking out.”

List three abuses in the silk factories that Florence Sanville identified.

Carry Nation

There are not many who have come to represent a righteous and strident call for morality in quite the way Carry Nation has. Her name has become synonymous with moral action, although certainly not everyone of her time agreed with her idea of morality.

Carry Nation was born Carry Amelia Moore in Kentucky (1846). At twenty, she married a drunkard, Dr. Charles Gloyd, who died shortly after they were married. After ten years of supporting herself by teaching and renting out rooms, she married a lawyer and minister named David Nation. She became devoutly religious at this time and professed that she saw visions. Nation was convinced that she was divinely protected and divinely chosen. A fire in 1889 that burned much of her town but left her property untouched increased her belief. So did her name – Carry A. Nation. She felt quite certain it was a message to her from Providence.

In 1889, Mr. and Mrs. Nation moved to Kansas. There was a law in Kansas at this time banning the sale of liquor, but it was not enforced. Carry nation took it upon herself to enforce it. In 1890, she began to pray outside saloons, and later, through the first decade of the twentieth century, she began to smash them. When she is pictured today, she is still seen carrying her Bible and wielding her hatchet, her tools of destruction.

One might not think that one woman could make much difference; however, the nearly six foot Carry Nation and her hatchet did extensive damage and closed the saloons in her town as well as many others throughout Kansas. Although she was often arrested for disturbing the peace, she continued to fight in her personal crusade.

Nation was also opposed to other things she found morally corrupt, such as the use of tobacco and immodest dress in women. Many felt her sense of righteousness was justified, so she developed quite a following of imitators and fans who admired her courage. However, many others were angered by her intolerant actions and dismissed her for her inappropriate and outrageous behavior. In 1901, Nation’s husband divorced her on the grounds of desertion.

The Tweed Ring and Tammany Hall

In the late 1800s, New York City politics were run by a corrupt Democratic political machine with its headquarters in Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall’s most famous leader was a politician named William Marcy “Boss” Tweed. Tweed and his partners, called the Tweed Ring, organized schemes in which they stole millions of dollars from the city.

A German born political cartoonist, Thomas Nast, began running a series of cartoons in Harper’s Weekly magazine calling attention to the corrupt politicians. Tweed responded angrily to the drawings, saying, “Let’s stop those…pictures. I don’t care so much what the papers write about me- my constituents can’t read, but they can see pictures.” In just over a year, Nast’s cartoons had helped bring down the Tweed Ring.

Why were cartoons an effective tool for attacking the Tweed Ring?

SUMMARYDuring the late 1800s, corruption had become common in many American cities. Many politicians demanded money from businesses in exchange for city jobs. Reformers tried to replace corrupt officials with honest leaders. These reformers were called Progressives. They believed that the problems of society could be solved. The late 1800s and early 1900s were called the Progressive Era.

The Progressives were helped by the press. Some reporters began to describe the horrible conditions in poor areas of the cities. Others exposed the unfair practices of big businesses. These journalists became known as muckrakers. They helped turn public opinion in favor of reform.

Many Progressives wanted voters to have more power. A number of states passed measures to achieve this goal. Most states began to hold primaries. In the past, party leaders picked candidates. Other changes included the initiative, referendum, and recall.

Combatting Racism: Two ViewsBooker T. Washington

Booker T. Washington, enslaved from birth, founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and was a leading voice of the African-American community from 1890-1915, and an advisor to Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. After reading his speech before the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, complete the exercise that follows.

A ship lost at sea for many days suddenly sighted a friendly vessel. From the mast of the unfortunate vessel was seen a signal, “Water, water, we die of thirst!” The answer from the friendly vessel at once came back, “Cast down your bucket where you are.” A second time the signal, “Water, water; send us water!” ran up from the distressed vessel, and was answered, “Cast down your bucket where you are.” And a third and fourth signal for water was answered, “Cast down your bucket where you are.” The captain of the distressed vessel, at last heeding the injunction, cast down his bucket, and it came up full of fresh, sparkling water from the mouth of the Amazon River. To those of my race who depend on bettering their condition in a foreign land or who underestimate the importance of cultivating friendly relations with the Southern white man, who is their next-door neighbor, I would say “Cast down your bucket where you are” – cast it down in making friends in every manly way of people of all races by whom we are surrounded.

Cast it down in agriculture, mechanics, commerce, in domestic service, and in the professions. And in this connection it is well to bear in mind that whatever other sins the South may be called to bear, when it comes to business, pure and simple, it is in the South that the Negro is given a man’s chance in the

commercial world, and in nothing is this Exposition more eloquent that in emphasizing this chance.

Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom we may overlook the fact that the masses of us are to live by the productions of our hands, and fail to keep in mind that we shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor and put brains and skill into the common occupation of life…No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not at the top. Nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities…

The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly, and the progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing. No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized. It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercise of these privileges. The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera house.

25


W.E.B. DuBoisW.E.B DuBois, an African-American scholar, educator, and one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), had strong views on race relations and discrimination. After reading his response to Booker T. Washington, complete the exercise that follows.

It has been claimed that the Negro can survive only through submission. Mr. Washington distinctly asks that black people give up, at least for the present,

First, political power,

Second, insistence on civil rights,

Third, higher education of Negro youths,

And concentrate all their energies on industrial education, the accumulation of wealth, and the conciliation of the Sought. As a result of this tender of the palm-branch, what has been the return? In these years since Booker T. Washington’s Atlanta speech there have occurred:

1. The disenfranchisement of the Negro2. The legal creation of a distinct status of

civil inferiority.3. The steady withdrawal of aid from

institutions for the higher training of the Negro.

These movements are not, to be sure, direct results of Mr. Washington’s teachings; but his propaganda has, without a shadow of doubt, helped their speedier accomplishment.

Negroes do not expect that the free right to vote, to enjoy civic rights, and to be educated

will come in a moment. They do not expect to see the bias and prejudices of years disappear at the blast of a trumpet; but they are absolutely certain that the way for a people to gain their reasonable rights is not by voluntarily throwing them away and insisting that they do not want them. They know that the way for a people to gain respect is not by continually belittling themselves. They believe, on the contrary, that Negroes must insist continually that voting is necessary to proper manhood, that color discrimination is barbarism, and the black boys need education as well as white boys.

So far as Mr. Washington preaches Thrift, Patience, and Industrial Training for the masses, we must hold up his hands and strive with him. But so far as Mr. Washington apologizes for injustice, North or South, does not rightly value the privilege and duty of voting, and opposes the higher training and ambition of our righter minds – we must firmly oppose him. By every civilized and peaceful method we must strive for the rights which the world accords to men, strongly clinging to those great words of the Founding Fathers: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
