CAMPAIGN--GOP gubernatorial hopeful George Romney (left)
takes the psychological advantage of outpolling his Democratic
rival in the August primary (Gov. Swainson) into this campaign.
NUISANCE TAXES:
Drinkers Phone Users'
To Boost State Funds
By DODD BOGART
Michigan's beer drinkers, cigarette smokers and telephone users
play a crucial role in keeping the state solvent.
The state Legislature, faced with the chronic problem of insuf-
ficient state revenue, drafted these groups to contribute to the state,
treasury rather than enact promised tax reform. The "nuisance taxes"

Neation Views
Comparison
Of Strength
Republicans Set Reid
For Second Slot
By PHILIP SUTIN
GOP gubernatorial h o p e f u 1
George Romney enters the fall
campaign with the psychological
advantage of his approximately
120,000 vote margin over Gov.
John B. Swainson in the Aug. 7
primary.
Neither Romney nor Swainson
had opposition in their respective
party races and national as well
as state interest centered on the
comparison of voting strength.
In the other state-wide contest
of unopposed candidates, Republi-
can Alvin Bentley bested local
resident, Democrat Neil Staebler
by approximately a 150,000 vote
margin for the congressman-at-
large nomination.
Running Mate
The Republicans chose former
Lt. Gov. Clarence A. Reid of De-
troit as Romney's running mate.
Reid defeated Sen. John Stahlin
(R-Belding) and constitutional
convention delegate Rockwell T.
Gust (R-Grosse Pointe).
Romney's moderate wing of the
Republican p a r t y was also
strengthened in the primary as re-
tirements and voters decimated
the Senate conservative leadership
and ended Richard Durant's reign
in the 14th Congressional District
GOP organization.
t Durant Dumped
The slate of precinct delegates
supporting Durant was rejected at
the polls as Durant himself was
beaten by Rep. Robert Waldron
(R-Grosse Pointe) by a three to
one margin.
Locally, the primary produced
only one upset. Republican Syl-
vester A. Leonard defeated the
ailing County Treasurer William
F. Vernor, 80. Sheriff George A.
Peterson defeated his nearest
rival by a two to one margin in
a bid for a third term.

Set Diag Talk
By Romn ey
George Romney, GOP hopeful
for governor, will speak on the
Diag Saturday.
Sponsored by the Young Re-
publicans and Students for Rom-
ney, the Republican candidate will
discuss the "Problems of Higher
Education in Our State."
The address is part of the two
organizations' drive for the Re-
publican contender this fall..
The YR's are organizing can-
vassing units to be used in pre-
cincts where the Republican or-
ganization needs manpower.

July 1 includes:
1) A three-cent increase on the
previous cigarette tax which is de-
signed to raise $30 million;
2) A four per cent tax on tele-
phone and telegraph service,
designed to raise $3 million;
3) A three-quarter mill rise in
the four mill corporation franchise
tax, designed to net $10 million;
and
4) A four per cent liquor excise
tax, designed to raise $7 million.
Critics of the tax have pointed
out that the tax affects middle
and lower bracket wage earners
and may be expected to have a
harmful effect on Michigan indus-
try. The ability of the state's
breweries to compete with those of
other states is especially affected
by the tax.
