Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	An Indiana State Police officer reads from a report which says that deaths from automobile accidents in Indiana increased by 36% in the last year. Truth (a woman) says that one reason for the number of accidents is that people are no longer obeying the 35 m.p.h. speed limit. An imp points out that gas use has increased despite rationing and efforts to stop black market sales and ration stamp counterfeiting. Public has one eye on a book of Facts held by the imp and one eye on the report held by the state trooper. Image Access WideTEK 25 One reason is that they no longer conform to this speed limit. Speed is stepped up with each bit of good war news. What will it be when war ends? Truth. Speed limit 35 miles per hour. Indiana State Police. Reported. Indiana deaths by auto accidents 36% 1944 over 1943 higher by far than nation average. Gas revenue tax increase near $1,000,000.00. Public. And in spite of tire and gas rationing plus OPA efforts to wipe out black market and counterfeit stamps you managed to use more gas--6,000,000 more gallons in the same period above. Facts. Did you ever watch the speeding on plaza and other streets at shift-time in war plants?
