CD 1 - Berryman...TITLE:My boys say it doesn''t belong on their door step!CALL NUMBER:CD 1 - Berryman (C.K.), no. 270 (A size) <P&P>[P&P] REPRODUCTION NUMBER:_ _ _ _ _ SUMMARY:World War II cartoon shows Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, dusting off his hands and walking away, leaving a screaming baby in a basket, labeled "$25,000 Salary Limitation" on President Roosevelt''s doorstep. Rayburn says, "My boys say it doesn''t belong on their doorstep." In 1942, Roosevelt, in an effort to equalize the burdens of the war, issued a regulation limiting salaries to $25,000 after taxes. Because of all the exemptions, it only affected salaries over $67,000 and did not apply to income from investments. It affected only an estimated 3000 people, but these included Hollywood stars and producers and the law was very unpopular. Congress quickly passed legislation abolishing the salary limit in the spring of 1943. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1943 March 14. CREATOR: Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist.
