No income tax!
At the “Income Tax Office,” a crowd clamors at the door where a notice states “One at a Time.” Inside, a wealthy man is standing by a desk. On the floor at his feet, in his hat, are papers labeled “Personal Property Tax Sworn Off,” “Tax on Capital Sworn Off,” and “Tax on Investments.” He kisses the Bible while a government official sits at the desk with his right hand raised. Caption: It is not only inquisitorial; but public morality forbids that the taxpayer should be forced to do any more hard swearing than he already does.

“Peace” assured

Gladstone, dressed as an old woman wearing keys labeled “Suez, Gibraltor, [and] Herat,” pushes John Bull into a kissing embrace with Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, who is, likewise, being pushed by a woman labeled “Empress of Russia.” They are suspended over a thin crevice emitting smoke as though it were a volcano about to erupt.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edith Kermit Carow
