This illustration entitled, "Tax Him", by cartoonist Clifford Berryman, which appeared in the Washington Evening Star on September 13, 1914, shows special interest groups pointing at one another as targets for additional tax revenue as the President and Congress consider alternative sources of revenue for the war plan.
President Woodrow Wilson, a congressman (perhaps Speaker of the House Champ Clark), and Uncle Sam stand back to back. They’re surrounded by a circle of anthropomorphized special interest groups with arms and legs: a barrel of beer, playing cards, motion pictures, a box labeled income, whiskey, freight, drugs, and tobacco. The dome of the Capitol building is in the background.
