| Description | Cartoon shows a large arrogant man (labeled "Tammany") holding rolls of paper labeled "Organization Jobs" and "Salary Grabs," dropping a coin labeled "5 Cent Fare" into a trash can. In June 1933, the New York City political machine, widely known as Tammany Hall, indicated that it might go along with a proposed raise of the five-cent subway fare. The cartoonist suggests that Tammany is more interested in lining its own pockets than in protecting the welfare of the citizens. |
