Help for the Unemployed- Wisconsin’s Unemployment Compensation Law
The first thing that struck me while reading this document was the unemployment rate at the time. In today’s society, the unemployment rate is at 4.9%, but it was shocking to read that up to 25% of Americans were without a job. The fact that these people could sometimes not pay for simple necessities, such as food, clothing, and shelter, is really quite disturbing. In my opinion, I feel that the Unemployment Compensation Law was imperative during the Great Depression. One thing that I appreciated was that John Commons strived to encourage employers to utilize as many workers as possible, as well as provide a system for those who could not find work.

It seems as though more people should have been curious about what was happening in the world around them. Luckily, Theodore Roosevelt and other people considered progressives were also preservationists, so Aldo had an adequate audience who could spread his message of preserving forestry. Thanks to Leopold, Wisconsin is able to keep the circle of life in balance. Without him, we might not have nearly as many fish as we currently have in La Crosse. Our hunting would have destroyed countless populations of deer, wolves, and bears. It was men like him who helped form the Department of Natural Resources in Wisconsin and in many states all over the country.
Pursuing Reform- The Life and Work of Robert M. La Follette
The first thing I appreciated about La Follette was that his motivation did not decrease after not being elected to Congress the first time. I also admire how he refused bribery and sought to change the way the Federal government handled money. I respect how driven La Follette was and that he was relentless when it came to what he wanted to change in the American government. He seems like a man with values similar to my own, being reforming and progressive. I see another similarity in that he sometimes worked so hard that he became sick or collapsed from fatigue, it reminds me of the work I put into this class :)
