Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A man stands inside a house whose door is labeled Indiana. A second man says that the state is planning to double the liquor tax. Two men, Illinois and Kentucky are outside the door; each one stands by a basket advertising that the liquor tax in those states is significantly less than in Indiana. Illinois sings OVER the Banks of the Wabash and Kentucky sings My Old Kentucky Home to encourage the first man to buy their liquor instead of the more expensive Indiana liquor.
