Probably not. To be fair it is probably just an old order.
Cuba had been a country of interest for Americans for many years
prior to the 1890s. Because it was only 90 miles from the tip of
Florida, many Americans believed it to be a natural extension of the US.
During the 1890s it became a profitable source of trade for American
businessmen. After the Cuban revolt against Spain ended the Americans
poured investments over $50 million into Cuba and became the biggest
purchaser of Cuban sugar. The US removed tariffs making sugar cheap for Americans to buy. Both the US and the Cuban economies benefited and the trade increased to $100 million. The depression of 1893, however, had a negative effect on both economies. <span>

17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)
The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect two senators to 6-year terms. Late in the 19th century, some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.
One Progressive response to these concerns was the "Oregon system," which utilized a state primary election to identify the voters’ choice for Senator while pledging all candidates for the state legislature to honor the primary’s result. Over half of the states adopted the "Oregon system," but the 1912 Senate investigation of bribery and corruption in the election of Illinois Senator William Lorimer indicated that only a constitutional amendment mandating the direct election of Senators by a state’s citizenry would allay public demands for reform.
When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. This would be done by vesting complete control of Senate elections in state governments. A substitute amendment by Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas provided for the direct election of Senators without the "race rider." It was adopted by the Senate on a close vote before the proposed constitutional amendment itself passed the Senate. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on April 8, 1913, the resolution became the 17th amendment.

Yes the New Economic Policy allowed government to tax peasants on a given percentage of their produce.
Explanation:
the Bolshevik government adopted this policy. It was the economic policy of the Soviet Union from 1921 to 1928.
Peasants were allowed to own and cultivate lands while paying taxes to the state. In the NEP, agriculture, retail trade, and small-scale light industry were returned to private ownership and management while the state retained control of heavy industry, transport, banking, and foreign trade.
from 1928-1929 there were grain shortages, Joseph Stalin forcibly eliminated private control of land and returned it to government control.
