"Gimme a lift, mister!"

A man with a big belly (gas tax) tries to rest a road roller (hard roads for big land owners with political pull) to the back of a car (Illinois auto license tax), while the driver in the car (city flivver owner) appears shocked at the size of the man's belly ($). In the background, a man in a top hat (big land owner) stands in front of a billboard that reads, "for sale country estate per acre $1,000."
