| Description | Editorial cartoon shows Joseph Martin, Speaker of the House of Representatives, holding an oversized gavel in his raised right hand over the head of a bruised and battered man labeled "Manufacturers' Sales Tax", possibly George M. Humphrey, Secretary of the Treasury, who favored a "general manufacturers' sales or excise tax", sitting among brick and stone rubble, as though a brick wall had fallen on him. Four days earlier, it was reported in the press that Martin "delivered a final, fatal blow against any prospect that Congress would enact a general sales tax next year." |
