SUMMARY:Cartoon shows a taxi owned by the Price Control Taxi Co., driven by an old man labeled "Congress," with passengers labeled "Farm Prices," and "Wages." The taxi has just swerved to avoid hitting a brick in the road labeled "The Minor Injustices of Immediate Wage and Farm Price Ceilings," and has plunged over the curb, labeled "Safety Zone," and plowed into a crowd of men, women, and children on "Cost of Living Av.," resulting in "Everybody''s Injury." Wage and price controls during World War II managed for the most part to keep the cost of living down, but legislation weakening controls at the end of the war resulted in considerable inflation. The cartoonist, Jay Darling, known as Ding, was editorial cartoonist for the Des Moines Tribune and the New York Herald-Tribune for many years, winning two Pulitzer Prizes.
