much more rapidly than generally
expected.
Among these developments is
the fact that some Southern Dem
ocrats contend that Democratic
i National Chairman Butler, and
others, are ignoring them and are
threatening to read them out of
: the Party. This complaint goes
far beyond the civil rights issue.
Another development is the
campaign by some “liberal” Re
publicans to seize control from
the conservatives of the Party or
ganization in the Senate. The
1 conservatives say that this cam
paign. if successful, would mean
a long step toward the end of the
traditional Republican Party.
Here is the way some astute
politicians in . Washington ana
lyze the situation:
If the Southern Democrats are
! going to be read out of the Par
ity—or if their influence within
* the Party is to be destroyed—they
| would at least give serious con
! -ideration to aligning with a new
j group advocating conservative
j principles.
If the so-called “liberals” take
over control of the Republican
Party—with control of the Sen
ate Republicans as an important
step—the conservative Republi
can:; could be expected to give
serious consideration to aligning
with a new group advocating con
servative principles.
If this should reach the action
stage, the big question, of course,
then would be the basis for form
ing the new group. Three possi
bilities are being mentioned:
I 1. An entirely new party could

be formed, consisting of conserva- j
tive Democrats and conservative
Republicans. This would mean a
third party and it is pointed out
that traditionally third parties
have not been successful in the
United States.
2. Conservative Democrats
could join the Republican Party
and use their influence toward
continuing it along conservative
lines. Major objections mention
ed include the opposition of most
of the Southerners to the civil
rights position of the Republican
leaders, and the fact that Repub
licans are still blamed by some
in the South for the War between
the States.
3. Conservative Republi
cans could join the Democratic
Party and unite with Southern
Democrats in an .effort to direct
the Party in the future along con
servative lines.
Rightly or wrongly, there are
some who believe that this lat
ter course might have the best
chance of accomplishment and
would thereby force the radical
New-Fair Deal Democrats to form
a new party, while the present
Democratic Party would be the
party of conservatives.
It is pointed out that the Demo
cratic Party was started in the
days of Thomas Jefferson as a
States Rights Party and continued
so until the advent of the New-
Deal in 1933.
To repeat, all this at the pres
ent time lies in the field of spec
ulation. However, more and more
people are considering what
course to take if the radical New-
Fair Dealers expand their control
aver the two present political
parties.
If the New-Fair dealers got
control of both parties, the con
servatives would be banished to
the political wilderness. And the
voters, in elections, would have
nothing to choose between in the
way of policies and principles.
There are many conservatives
who believe that the voters
should be provided with a clear
cut choice between conservative
principles—the kind under which j
the nation flourished to its pres- j
ent greatness—and radical New- j
Fair Deal principles under
which Big Government becomes j
bigger and the people's rights
and liberty grow smaller.
These conservatives believe
they would win a majority of j
elections if the issues are clear- |
ly presented to the people—and i
if proper candidates run for pub- i
lie office—and if the conserv’d- j
tives will really work for better j
Government.
TAX FACTS ■ i . ■ n
Selecting The Proper Tax Form
(This is one of « series of articles on federal income tax
filing. The articles are based on information provided bp the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the
North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants,
in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service.)
IF you are one of the millions of American taxpayers who
spends the lion's share of his income feeding, clothing,
housing and entertaining his family, chances are there is very
little you can do to reduce your 1958 federal income tax bill
but you owe It to yourself to try.
First of all. decide which of the
two individual tax forms you are
going to use to report yodr in
come. If you choose the wrong
one. you may automatically cut
yourself off from a possible tax
savings.
The easiest way to tile is to use
the simple 1040-A Form. It’s a
card the size of a check, on which
you answer a tew simple ques
tions and have the choice of
either computing your own tax
or letting the Government do it
for you.
You are permitted to use the
card form if your gross income
consisted only of wages, divi
dends or interest totaling less
than SIO,OOO, and if you did not
have more than S2OO of gross
income apart from that listed on
your W-2 withholding slips.
Facts to Consider
Before deciding to use the card
Form 1040-A, you should consider
these facts:
1. Your tax will be figured
from a table which allows you
a deduction of about 10 per cent
of your income instead of item
ized deductions for contributions,
taxes, interest paid, medical and
dental expenses, etc.
' 2. There is no provision in
this form for filing as the “head
of household”, as a "surviving
spouse” or for claiming special
credits for dividends and retire
ment income.
If you are sure that these two
points would not cost you any
tax savings, and your income is
within the limits for filing a
Form 1040-A, you might as well
use this simple card form.
Whether to Itemise
When you elect to use the reg
ular Form 1040, you still must

decide whether to itemixe deduc
tions or take the standard deduc
tion which usually aihounts to
about 10 per cent of your income
or SI,OOO, whichever is less. Gen
erally. you will save by itemis
ing deductions if you: ~
(1) Own real estate
(2) Had unusual medical ex
penses
(S) Had deductible child-care
expense
(4) Suffered losses from fire,
storm, accident or theft •
(5) Made fairly large charit
able contributions ‘
If you are supporting a de
pendent, although you are un
married. you may be able to
qualify as a “head of household”
and figure vour tax on a special
table that gives you part of the
advantage enjoyed by married
couples tiling joint returns.
You may qualify for a “head
of household” status if you pro
vide more than half the support
of a parent, and more than halt ,
the cost of maintaining the par
ent's household even if the par
ent does not live with you. You
cannot claim a “head of house
hold” status if you file a Form
1040-A.
The 1040 Form is • arranged
again this year so that a tax
payer whose income was entirely
from wages needs to use only the
first one or two pages. Pages
three and four are for other
types of income and for comput
ing the special credits for divi
dends and retirement income.
The instructions which come
with your tax forms give further
information on how to select the
correct tax form. Help is also
available from the Internal Rev
enue Service.

ed, -only to change' his motives
and remain in that profession for
the services he can render. For
reasons of this kind we should
not dismiss Rightly the idea that
men are 'often enabled to live
better lives „■ if they believe in
their own continuance after the
death of their flesh.
The first Christian experience
was related to the fact of immed
iate experience of Jesus Christ
after his "death. It was a very
personal thing, and it transform
ed men. Through this vital ex
perience of a personal encounter
with the Spirit that had been in
Jesus they were convinced that
God had announced to all gen
erations the triumph of life over
death. What this means for us
is clear. We might say that God
gave us life and for these few
years it is being expressed
through flesh. But Jesus had
demonstrated that this is not the
only way God can let men ex
press their lives. There is that,
way which lies beyond death.
This is a basic fact of belief f“r

Christians.
The first Christians believed in
imortality because they were sure
of their association with One who
had triumphed over death. What
Jesus had obtained byway of
victory was also obtainable for
all who believed. The resurrec
tion is a continuing process
through which God lifts life from
death and keeps sending it on
its way. To know this, to, see it,
to feel it, to rejoice in it, is the
basic concept of Christianity.
But a continuance of life after
death also carries with it a grave
responsibility. Death will not
destroy the fact of our various
sins. We, ourselves, are respon
sible for the use to which we
have put the God-given gift of
life. Death, in itself, is not the
end of our need for God and re
demption.
Our lives, as we live them from
day to day on this earth, express
ed through our flesh, are involv
ed in the process of becoming
something which only death can
make them. Death is our birth
into immortality. Jesus is the
Demonstrator of a' fact. The
church is the celebrator.
When Jesus proclaimed: “In
my Father’s house there are
many mansions” he held out hope
1 /'-■ 111 . 11 — 1 -
to mankind; hope, and a prom .
ise of better things to come f u
us, provided we earned thoie
'things. What an inspiration be- ■;
lief in life after death can be,
for every one of jus! How great-j
Jly it should refine our lives!/
How helpfully it should enable
us to bear our burdens, enjoy our
work; how richly it shoyld en
dow our jvorship! After all, the
God who could he trusted to
bring us to earth in birth can
surely be trusted to take us on
ward, through, the birth of death,
into immortality. In God’s grace,
that we should be worthy of it,
should be our fervent prayer.
