Fall In! [editorial cartoon by Fred O. Seibel]
Description
An account of the resource
Editorial cartoon by Fred O. Seibel for The <em>Knickerbocker Press. </em>Mounted and identified as no. 1312.<br /><br />The cartoon relates to the War Adjusted Compensation Act (Bonus Act) of May 19, 1924. This act granted a benefit (bonus) to veterans of military service during World War I. President Calvin Coolidge vetoed the act, but his veto was overridden by Congress. <br /><br />The Act provided for deferred payments in the form of certificates to most veterans. The certificates were to be redeemed in 1945. With the advent of the Great Depression, a large number of veterans would seek immediate cash redemption of these certificates. A group of these veterans and supporters, known as the Bonus Army, would gather in Washington, D.C. in 1932. <br /><br />Image Description: An "Ex-service man" holding an empty mess kit stands outside a Bonus Mess Tent where other veterans are lining up. The Ex-service man says, "There's that mess call again! Wonder if they will fool us <span style="text-decoration:underline;">this</span> time? I'm getting pretty blamed hungry!" <br /><br />Seibel's "Moses Crow," dressed in uniform says, "When do we eat?"
