62,000 Laws
Poster with two cartoons under the headline. The cartoon on the left is titled: "Snowed Under," and displays a truck labeled American Indu$trie$ stalled in a heavy snowstorm, labeled "Unwise Laws," and "Trade Restrictions." Two men covered in snow are walking away from the truck, and the National Industrial Conservation Movement mascot blackbird is commenting: "Wow, it's cold!" In the cartoon on the right, a man is standing in front of a desk and presenting a piece of paper to a man who is sitting in a chair labeled "Legislator." The paper reads: "Give U$ Fewer and Better Law$, Wage Payer, Wage Earner, The Public." Behind them, an inset circle shows a mountain of papers labeled "Laws" in front of the United States Capitol building. A note reads" "62,000 Law$ enacted in the United $tate$ in Four Year$," and the blackbird is commenting: "Do We Need $o Many?" The rest of the text reads: "Enacted in Four Years in the United States. Many of Them — Unnecessarily hampered your industry. Tell your legislator you want fewer and better laws. " |
