The cartoon portrays Roosevelt, standing on the railroads, holding a bat that reads, "greater railroad regulation." During his administration, Roosevelt worked to curb the power of railroads. The Elkins Act was passed in 1903 by Congress and imposed fines on railroads that gave rebates. The Hepburn Act of 1906 restricted free passes given out by railroads. A piece of Roosevelt's clothing also reads, "square deal for all." Roosevelt's square deal included control of corporations, consumer protectin, and conservaton of natural resources. Also in the cartoon, there is a sign reading, "next station over capitalization." While Rooselvelt was known for being a trust buster, he was not against capitalism, but rather tried to tame the power of large corporations in accordance with the government.
