Maybe it Is unfair to certain people, like athletes and authors, whose years of earning power are often short. Anybody can make a long list of things that should be changed about the income tax; Congress itself occasionally make such a list, and enacts changes. But to argue, as Lee does, that the very idea of an income tax is un-American or something'equally dire, is nonsense. A fair tax is one based on ability to pay, and the income tax, aside from certain inequities, is so based.

In November. The painful fact Is that the big contributors have been sitting on then- hands. What makes the situation acute Is that Republican campaign collectors face stiff competition from professional money raisers skilled In tapping the extreme Right with promises that amount to a repeal of the 20th Century. The crisis over money, and It Is hardly less than that, Indicates that the split between the moderates and the standpatters on the Right is once again plaguing the will therefore that men pray ev erywhere, lifting up holy hands, with out wrath and doubting.

2:8) On Living at an Historic Time It's hard for the ordinary mortal to grasp all the meanings of the moon rocket flight and other related examples of man's skylarking around in space. That probably has always been the way with great historic turning points. When Christopher Columbus returned from his voyage across the Atlantic, it took years for the world to realize that things would never be the same again. So it was with the Wright brothers' little voyage, at Kitty Hawk in 1903, and with the splitting of the atom two decades or so ago, and with all the other times when men did something or learned something that had been unknown or never done before. We all read the sputnik and spaceflight reports with interest, and even talk about them once in a while with friends and neighbors.

But, being human, we don't devote much time to thoughts on the significance of it all. Our main concerns, as. were those of most men after Columbus had dis-, covered America, are personal mort-' gages, the kids', report cards, the price of groceries Maybe that's the way it should be.

Nixon recently warned his fellow newspaper advertisements headed: "Will you let Reuther gel away with it? These ads hold out to businessmen the tax deductibility of contributions to hli foundation, "The Constitution and Free Enterprise." Contributions to his committee would also bo deductible, the ad suggests, as "a legitimate business expense." The Bureau of Internal Revenue has ruled that contributions to the Rumely Foundation are tax deductible. But Sen. Paul Douglas, Democrat of Illinois, has called for an investigation to determine whether businesses are deducting their contributions to the campaign being engineered by Rumely. The Democrats In the new congress will almost certainly push an Inquiry into this activity, hoping, with 1960 in view, to tie Kamp, Rumely and Co. to the Republican Party.

And this could be a wide ranging investigation in view of Rumely's claims to administration support. In a solid-ing letter sent out in March he claimed the blessing of Sherman Adams and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson for his effort In support of the Benson farm program. There can be no doubt of Rumely's success. Congressional investigations have shown that year after year he collects hundreds of thousands of dollars. He boasted recently that he had sent out 140,000,000 pieces of literature free of charge under the free mailing privilege of such right-wing Republican as Rep.

Clare Hoffman of Michigan and Ralph Gwinn of New York. Under the law contributions to political organizations are not tax" deductible. It is the bargain-base, ment appeal of the Kamps and the Rumelys that so irks Nixon and the party regulars. They feel it is an unfair advantage in the competition for money to keep the political wheels turning. But, as the extremists call for a crusade to send Reuther to the Republicans of what this means in the party.

Nixon told reporters that big business interests were wasting more money on "screwball committees and pamphleteers" than the Republicans get in an entire campaign. He was speaking as the old familiar figures on the ex- rem Right were coming out of the political woods to tap the big sugar with the old, familiar scare echniques of socialism and Water Reuther. And at the same some of these pamphleteers of the rabid right in their appeals RBIs, Not Color, Are Important to contributors were attacking Nixon. Long-Reigning, Long-Lived Popes Every new Pope in more than 400 years since Hadrian VI from The Netherlands died in 1523 has been of Italian origin. By adhering to this precedent the Roman Catholic Church escapes any international political or nationalistic pressures in making its choice.

The late Pius XII, dead at 82, reigned for over 19 years. His advanced age and the considerable length of his reign were by no means exceptional among recent heads of the church. The new Most Holy Father will be only the 14th since Clemens XIII became successor to St. Peter in 1758. The predecessor of Pius XII was Pius XI who reigned for 17 years.

Leo XIII reigned for 25 years, 1878-1903. Almost 68 when elected, he lived to be 93. 1 Probably the most famous of Leo XIII's encyclicals, in 1891, was "Rer-urn Novarum." Often termed the "social Magna Carta of Catholicism," it earned for its author the name of the "Workingman's Pope." It stressed the duties of employer to employee as well as the workers' right, and helped to bring the Papacy to even higher prestige in the non-Catholic world. His predecessor, Pius IX, 54 when crowned, lived to be over 85 after a reign of more than 31 years. It was by him that the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin was officially proclaimed in 1854 and, in 1870, the dogma of the infallibility of the Pope, but only when speaking ex cathedra in decisions on faith or morals.

Hel Mays as anything but a charming kid who hits well and makes astounding catches, and Roy Campanella did not have to break his neck to be an idol of the nation. Yet, to the opponents of educational integration, it might be suggested that there is nothing more closely integrated than a ball club, with the players literally working and living in each others' pockets for the length of a school term, if you count spring training. This enforced intimacy has in no way detracted from the quality of the national sport or the perform act of interracial fraternizing. In ball is only a game," some lady said. "But would you want your kids going to school with Hank Aarons' kids? Would you want Elston Howard or Willie Mays or Don Newcombe living next door?" "I would," one gentleman answered.

"They'd probably be very nice neighbors, and, for sure, they could teach my kid to hit better. He's very good field, but very poor hit." The basic premise that complete equality, full integration, is bound to come but that President tegration has carried baseball by stake and cut back the unions, the regulars are driven by this competition to call for madder music and stronger wine.

The Caro- come tax is to emit hot air. That's the line frequently taken by J.

Bracken Lee, former governor of Utah, among others. Lee contends the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which authorized the taxing of incomes, is "completely incompatible with freedom and has no place in our form of constitutional government." That is baloney. Heaven knows the income tax is burdensome. In certain respects it may be unfair. Maybe the scales on high incomes are too large; soaking a man 90 per cent of what he earns, regardless of how well he is able to survive the blow, is the next thing to MUTUAL LIFf IM By DON E.

However, that was before the can who served two terms in the Illinois State Senate. He became a Montgomery County resident in tha thirties when he moved to Hillsboro where he became active in Republican politics. Another downstate city plans to join in the growing crackdown on motor scooters operated by unlicensed drivers.

Springfield Mayor Nelson O. Howarth says he has ordered such a ban under existing law. The ban will hit younger teenagers as well as adults who have lost their driver licenses because of traffic violations but who have evaded the law by using ccooters. Atty. Gen.

Lalham Castle recently held scooters are motor vehicles and that drivers must have licenses. Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier obtained the ruling from Castle who held that a 1957 amendment to the motor vehicle act exempting youths under 16 exempt from the driver license law, was unconstitutional but also by Gov. Goodwin Knight, GOP candidate to sue-ceed Knowland in the Senate. Another Californian, Vice President Nixon, refuses to take sides on the Issue.

So does President Eisenhower, who said at his Oct. 1 press conference: "I believe it's the state's business and I am not going to get into it." However, his secretary of labor, James P.
