Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: An older woman, a young man, and an older man dressed as a southern gentleman gather around a table inside a log cabin. The older man, representing the current governor of Kentuckys administration and the state legislature, prepares to fill the younger mans plate from a pot labeled Bonus Bill for Veterans, Residents Only. The young man looks back toward a window where two men in coats and military hats identifying them as veterans look in at the people sitting around the table. The older man and woman appear to be the parents of the three younger men. The woman wants to let the men outside come in, but the older man refuses because they left home (Kentucky) to go live and work in other states.

Whats brother saying? We fought too. But Paw! Theyre our own flesh and blood. Bonus Bill for veterans, residents only. No Maw! They done up and left us--to live and work as Hoosiers, Illinoisans, Buckeyes (Ohio), Tennesseans, and the likes of neighbors. Combs administration legislature.
