  • Leslie Mortimer Shaw was an American businessman, lawyer and politician. Born in Morristown, Vermont, he became a lawyer and banker, and in 1898 became Governor of Iowa, serving until 1902. He then became United States Secretary of the Treasury under President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, serving until 1907. Like his predecessor Secretary Lyman Gage, Shaw firmly believed that the Treasury should serve the money market in times of difficulty through the introduction of Treasury funds. To this end, Shaw bought back government bonds from the commercial banks that owned them, increased the number of government depository banks, and, in 1902, told the banks that they no longer needed to keep cash reserves against their holdings of public funds. The intended effect of these actions was to provide a more elastic currency, which would then respond to the needs of the market. Government intervention in the money market reached its height with Shaw. He resigned in 1907 to become a banker in New York. He was a candidate for the nomination of the Republican Party during the U.S. presidential election, 1908. After leaving the Presidential Cabinet and public life he returned to banking, working in New York City. He died in Washington, DC, and is buried at the Oakland Cemetery in Denison, Iowa.

  • Leslie Mortimer Shaw var en amerikansk bankier, advokat og republikansk politiker, kjent som landets 43. finansminister under presidenten Theodore Roosevelt i perioden mellom 1. februar 1902 til 3. mars 1907. Shaw var guvernør i Iowa i perioden 1898 til 1902, og ble så forespurt av president Theodore Roosevelt om å stille som finansminister. Hans utnevnelse til Roosevelts kabinett kom som en belønning for at han hadde anbefalt gullstandarden under kampanjen i 1896, og fire år senere hadde vært en tilhenger av Theodore Roosevelt under hans presidentkampanje. Som finansminister kjøpte Shaw tilbake statsobligasjoner fra handelsbankene. Han bidro også til med handlinger som skulle få til en valuta som kunne motsvare markedets behov. Statsmaktens innblanding i pengemarkedet var på sitt høyeste nivå i USAs historie da Shaw var finansminister. Etter tiden som minister arbeidet han som bankman i New York, før han døde i Washington, D.C. den 28. mars 1932.
