EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph, titled "Special Subcommittee of Banking and Currency To Investigate 'Money Trusts,'" was captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in 1912. The image documents a pivotal moment in American political history, as members of the House of Representatives' Special Subcommittee, also known as the "Pujo Committee," gathered to investigate the influence of the so-called "money trusts" on the country's financial system. The subcommittee, chaired by Representative Arsene Paulin Pujo of Louisiana, included James Francis Byrnes of South Carolina, James Alexander Daugherty of Missouri, Frank Edward Gurnsey of Maine, Everis Anson Hayes of California, William Henry Heald of Delaware, George Arthur Neeley of Kansas, and Samuel Untermyer, an influential lawyer and muckraker. The purpose of the investigation was to examine the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few financial institutions and their potential impact on the public interest. The inquiry was significant as it marked the beginning of increased government scrutiny over monopolies and trusts, paving the way for future antitrust legislation. The photograph captures the committee members, along with a few unidentified clerks, seated around a table, likely in a hearing room, with serious expressions and focused attention. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of the era's political events and the New York Stock Exchange, serves as a testament to the importance of transparency and accountability in American finance and governance.
