# Judge's Camera Contest This page presents four cartoon submissions satirizing contemporary social and political issues: 1. **Top left**: A man ("Mr. James Brown") is shown being dropped from relief rolls after authorities discovered he's an American citizen—satirizing the irony that relief assistance was sometimes denied to citizens while potentially extended to non-citizens. 2. **Top right**: A cartoon about removing telegraph poles from roadsides to reduce automobile fatalities among "Sunday drivers," suggesting reckless motorists were a growing public hazard. 3. **Bottom left**: "Inventor Abraham Iz" proposes allowing tourists to photograph foreign military fortifications freely—a satirical jab at international paranoia about espionage and the absurdity of treating photographers as potential spies. 4. **Bottom right**: Appears to reference a Kansas tourist's generous tip left at a sidewalk café, possibly mocking American tourists abroad or cultural misunderstandings. These are entries in Judge's photographic/cartoon contest, presenting visual satire on citizenship policy, road safety, international relations, and tourism.
