Panama Canal Tolls Act 1912
This is Taft's act that had exempted Ameican coastwise shipping from tolls which had provoked protests from Britian, and in 1914 Wilson persuaded Congress to repeal it.
Jones Act of 1916
This act was passed by Wilson and was anti-imperial. It granted the Philippines territorial status and promised independence as soon as "stable government" was reached (which came 30 years later July 4, 1946).
