News Note,Brothers,Niagara River,Warren G. Harding,Andrew Mellon,March 1922

Title: News note: two brothers were rescued from floating ice in Niagara River as it neared the falls
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: 1922 [Mar. 14]
Summary: Cartoon shows a little man labeled 'House' on an ice flow, clutching a frail girl labeled 'Bonus Bill,' floating down a river in the direction of the 'Fall Cataract.' He stares wonderingly at a rope labeled 'Sales Tax' thrown him by President Harding and Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. Berryman uses a news item to characterize the Bonus Bill controversy. Congress was intent on passing a bill to provide a bonus for World War I veterans, but Mellon opposed it, and Harding threatened to veto it unless the bill included the means to fund it, preferably a general sales tax.
