Easter egg rolling,1922,Warren Harding,Porter McCumber,Republican Party,Tariff

Title: Easter egg rolling
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: 1922.
Summary: Cartoon shows the GOP elephant and Senator Porter J. McCumber, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance (shown as a small boy) carrying baskets of Easter eggs labeled 'Tariff Schedules.' From the porch, President Harding watches them go, admonishing, 'Good luck boys, but no rough stuff, remember!' The caption refers to Easter egg rolling on the White House lawn, a long-time tradition. In the spring of 1922, the Republicans in the Senate, on a party-line vote, passed the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act, which raised protective tariffs to their highest level up to that time. President Harding supported the tariff, but consistent with his long-time practice, refused to put any pressure on Congress.
