For what measures did president woodrow wilson push soon after taking office? banking reform and tariff revision conservation and an equal rights amendment big business regulations and a direct income tax women's suffrage and temperance

The right answer is:

Banking reform and tariff revision

Explanation

In a special session of Congress upon assuming office Woodrow Wilson introduced a federal income tax. He also enacted the Federal Reserve Act, which is the central banking system also known as the Federal Reserve System.

The correct answer is banking reform and tariff revision.

President Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president in the United States, serving two terms from 1913 to 1921. He was a former college professor, and a great promoter of world peace and democracy. He is better known for leading America through World War I and crafting the Treaty of Versailles, in which the last point was the creation of a League of Nations--a precursor for today's United Nations.

Soon after taking office, he pushed for banking reform and tariff revision. One of the first measures for which he pushed was the Underwood-Simmons Act, aka Revenue Act of 1913 or The Underwood Tariff, which reduced the tariff on imported goods that had previously benefitted industries over small business. It also passed a legislation creating the Federal Reserve, providing a system to regulate the banks, and the Federal Trade Comission, which  investigates and forbids unfair business praxis.

Though he eventually supported women's suffrage, at first he was unenthusiastic. In 1917, a group of women protested for the suffrage outside the White House. It ended in violence and many women being thrown in jail, but Woodrow Wilson was shocked to learn that some of them had gone through hunger strike. In 1918, he finally supported the cause publicly.
