What ended President William H. Taft’s anti-trust efforts was the end of his term in office.

Throughout his administration President Taft consistently launched antitrust cases because he was inclined to believe that courts were to regulate trust activities and not the executive branch of the federal government.

The answer is:

The end of his term in office .

Step-by-step explanation:

Taft’s asministration did much to continue many progressive measures initiated by Roosevelt and in fact he did more to regulate monopolies than Franklin D. Roosevelt. William Howard Taft was at one point even called “The Trust Buster” when he ordered the prosecution that broke up Standard Oil in 1911.
