January 4 1909 — This week Angelenos will go to the polls, and one issue is whether to approve a new bond issue to build additional schools. Believe it or not, Los Angeles in 1909 was in need of money to build their THIRD high school.

When I first saw this cartoon, I thought, “Geez mother, if you want the bond issue, stop whining at your hubby and vote for it yourself.” Oops — no can do in 1909!
