BOOSTERS THINK
LOAN WILLCARRY
Walnut Street Bridge Associa-
ton Holds Big Meeting;
Would Relieve Traffic

Boosters of the 100000 loan for the
proposed Walnut street viaduct held a
meeting in the assembly room of the
Mt. Pleasant Fire Company last even
ing Prior to the meeting a big parade
headed by the Penbrook band marched
over the principal sections OF the Hill.
The five speakers. William l.. Loeser
Charles f. Pass. Charles y. Shaver,
Hershey NJ Miller and Professor How
ard Vert united in predicting the loan
would go through ii the public was
made fully aware of the situation.
After the meeting a statement was
prepared at the business session. In
ii lhe Walnut Street Bridge Associa-
tion said il was advocating a bridge,
not from political motives but because
the improvement was an absolute
necessity. In addition TO costing less
to build than to widen the Market
street subway. the statement said. the
bridge would provide a connecting link
with the Cumberland Valley. a boon
for the outlying district north and east
all Hill traffic and pedestrian prob
lens.
Another argument advanced is the
who are forced TO climb the lonesome
state street hill a { night. Conditions
are getting so bad. a member of the
committee said that even men hesitate
to climb it late at night. The COM
mittee claims the bridge would offer
a direct route to Reservoir Park and
!, would mean ready access to the Har-
risburg. East Harrisburg. Jewish and

ment of the Western PENNSYLVANIA
Classical and Scientific Institute, at
Mt. Pleasant, Pa. as the most impor-
tant work of his life. He still retains
his place on the board of trustees of
that institution and is one of the very
few charter members of the board.
In his own county he has held, in
addition to having been county super
intendent of public schools, the posi-
ton of school director, prothontary
of the court of common pleas and
clerk of criminal courts. In 1890, he
was elected to the Senate of PennsyI-
vania from the Thirty-siXth district
composed of the counties of Somerset,
Bedford and Fulton. and was re-
elected in 1894. During most of the
time he served in the Senate he was
chairman of the Committee on Agri-
culture in which capacity he devoted
special attention to the agricultural
interests of the State.
In 1898, he was appointed by the
National Commission of the Worlds

the board of judges in the Department
of Agriculture, and upon the organi-
zation of the board he was elected
vice-president The president Of the
board, who was dean of the Agricul-
turaI College OF Russia, was called
home shortly after the board began
its work and the craftsmanship de-
volved upon Mr.. Critchfield. The sat
isfactory manner in which he con-
Quoted the business of the board was
attested by the fact that the Com
mittee on Awards endeavored to make
arrangement with him to go to Wash
ington at the close of the exposition
and prepare for publication a full
history of the agricultural exhibit at
the great fair. Since the close of Mr..
Critchfeld's term of service in the
Senate he has devoted his entire at
tention to his business as a farmer.
On February IS, 1908, he was ap-
pointed Secretary of Agriculture by
Governor Samuel w. Pennypacker: re-
appointed by Governor Stuart on Feb
ruary 25 1907. and reappointed by
Governor Tener on February 27, 1911.

Income Tax "at the
Source" May Be Killed
Sbecid! TO The TclegrGfh

Washington. D. c.. Oct. Is. - The
''withho olding clause" of the Federal in
come tax law is under heavy fire in the
United States supreme Court. Able
lawyers who heard the arguments yes
terday and the comments of the Jus
tees admit they would not be surprised
if the Court held that feature to be
constitutional.
Otherwise the law seems able to
withstand successfully attacks from
eminent counsel The attacking law
yers have admitted in open court that
they are not contending that an income
tax. as such. is unconstitutional. but
they charge that the present law is a
discriminator statute and therefore
class leEisla ton and that the opera
tion of the Withholding clause" under
which the Government appears to be
taking private property for public use
without just compensation, is in viola
tion of the due process clause of the
Federal Constitution and that feature
ought to fall.
The comments from the bench were
not favorable to the law in the argu-
ments yesterday.
