    Taft also had several successes regarding trust busting and conservation.

    While Roosevelt was given the "trust-buster," Taft was strongly against monopoly. He was an objector of exclusive possession. He supported competition. Taft had been promoting progressive policies. Taft brought doubled the amount of anti-trust cases in four years than his predecessors had brought in seven years. In 1912 Taft set up Children's Bureau, an entity that examined and highlighted child labor issues and concerns. This organization exists today and addresses issues such as prevention of child abuse, foster care, adoption etc. Taft was also a committed and dedicated conservationist. His achievements in this area were equivalent to or excelled those of Roosevelt. In 1910 he established the Bureau of Mines to supervise and control the activities of mining companies. Most of the new and prominent mining technologies, to some extent, are made possible because of the involvement of the Bureau of Mines. He also expanded the national forests, and secure water power sources from private development.
