THE Liberal party, although organized for a single purpose and designed to be active only in the campaign just ended, appears likely to have political life forced on it whether it wants it or not. The state election law provides that if a party polls two per cent of the| highest vote cast for a state-wide can- didate, and also polls five per cent of | |the high vote in each of ten counties, | it becomes entitled to a place on ballots in future elections and a berth in the party columns.

McLaugh- lin, 50, resigned Captain of the State Police at Greensburg, Pa., for failure to pay income tax on $133,689, was re- turned by the Federal grand jury at Pittsburg last week. In a second count the bill charges McLaughlin failed to make an income tax return on his salary of $300 a month during the period from 1924 to 1929. McLaughlin finances have been un- der investigation by agents of the De- partment of Revenue for months, they said. McLaughlin refused to explain the source of the $133.689, the agents said, and they have been unable to de- termine its source. McLaughlin made a belated return for the taxes for the five-year period, but he is still liable to a sentence of 42 years in prison and a $140,000 fine, Federal officials said. Y Afte r25 years in the service, Mc- Laughlin, one of the original members of the Pennsylvania State Police re- signed last April “for the good of the service.” He enlisted as a private in 1905, was promoted several times, finally being mage a Captain in 1920 and assigned to Lancaster. Two years later he be- came commander of the State Police school at Newville and in January 1923, was assigned to Troop A, Greensburg, as commanding officer.
