Robert La Follette pressed for Progressive reforms
during his political career.
As soon as I became governor we began pressing for new
labor legislation which should place Wisconsin on a level
with the most progressive state or nation; and it can be
truthfully said, since the passage last year of a law
creating an Industrial Commission, that Wisconsin now
easily leads the states of the union in its body of labor
legislation. Child labor has been reduced and the
children kept in the schools. Excessive hours for women
workers have been abolished.
