| Description | Cartoon shows a little man (labeled "Taxpaying Public") congratulating President Roosevelt (labeled "'Spender' F.D.R."), who is dandling on his knee a baby (with an alarm clock for a head) labeled "Daylight Saving Legislation." In July 1941, Roosevelt proposed that Congress authorize nation-wide daylight saving time on the grounds that it would save electricity. Referring to the large spending program of the New Deal, the cartoon suggests that a measure designed to save is an unusual step for the president. |
