The act also expanded the ICC's jurisdiction to cover telephones, telegraphs, and radio.
The Taft administration also passed parcel post reforms and workman's compensation laws. It was during the Taft presidency that Congress passed the 16th Amendment to levy an income tax on the American people, and the 17th amendment, which allowed election of United States senators by popular vote.
