President Roosevelt crosses his arms and stands on an “expenditures 1903-4” mountain of money bags: “War Dept $115,000,000,” “Civil, and miscellaneous $132,000,000,” “pensions $142,000,000,” and “Navy Dept $102,000,000.” Two signs are in the background. The one on the left reads, “We intend in the future to carry on the government in the same way that we have carried it on in the past.” Theodore Roosevelt. The one on the right reads, “The governmental expenditures last year mounted up to five hundred and eighty-two millions, which is not equalled by any year since the Civil War, with the exception of the year of the Spanish War.” Alton B. Parker.
