Moreno is noted for sanctioning the abolition of the agricultural practice of concertaje, which was a system of contracted debt that held Indian hacienda laborers called conceirtos under threat of imprisonment. His administration was also considered a factor in the public disenchantment that led to the July Revolution of July 9, 1925.
