He added people n- should be taxed based on their ability to pay, while those more capable of d paying bear the burden of those who cannot afford the taxes. n McCollough compared the 301 per of cent rise in property taxes in the state with a 40 per cent increase in persnal e incomes over the same period as e evidence of an unjust property tax at structure. He added that linking taxes at to income would force the government to set priorities. Ralls concurred. "Milliken spends money like water and doesn't set priorities." Fitzgerald said he has not yet for- mulated a policy to equalize the tax system. However, he said schools should not rely so heavily on property tax revenues, but should instead shift some of their dependence to income tax revenues. He found fault with the property tax structure because it hits hardest those on fixed incomes. RALLS AND Fitzgerald attacked Milliken's handling of alleged mental institution abuses and what they called his tolerance for unqualified, incom- petent department heads. "The department (of Mental Health) is demoralized and continuously without leadership," Ralls said. He ad- ded he would improve the situation by appointing able department heads. Ferency also emphasized mental health in his funding priorities. Fitzgerald said, "The origin of this problem (mental institution abuse) is the same as PBB, and mismanagement of the budget. It lies with the chief executive. Milliken doesn't require toughness from his department heads and never addresses "problems from the beginning. "He waits until it's a crisis," Fitzgerald said, "and then (he) approaches it when it's a day late and at least a dollar short." ALL THE candidates interviewed advocate a coordinated energy policy.

Fitzgerald said he would consult extensively with scientists and en- vironmentalists before allowing nuclear plants to locate in Michigan. Ferency stressed the need to convert to alternative energy sources such as wood and alcohol burning, shifting away from fossil fuels like oil and coal. He concurred with the rest of the can- didates that solar energy should be en- couraged. MC COLLOUGH favors tax breaks to those who conserve energy resources, and denounced Milliken for not making a stronger effort to lure experimental solar energy projects to Michigan. He also said the mass production of solar units would not only give Michigan more energy independence, but would also create many new jobs. Every candidate naturally supports efforts to draw more business and in- dustry into Michigan, but they differ over how to do it. Ferency said the state should promote its tourist industry and set up an economic development authority much like the already- existing state housing authority. McCollough wants to provide tax breaks to businesses which expand with in the state. Fitzgerald reported he would campaign in other states and countries to attract businesses. Ralls said he wants to make the tax structure more attractive to businesses. Leone resigns (Continued from Page 1) One Social Democrat member of Parliament, Michele Achilli, likened the Leone case to Watergate and Nixon's resignation. Andreotti's government depends on support from the Communists, Italy's second strongest party behind the Christian Democrats, and from three other parties in Parliament. - LEONE, A two-time former premier, became the center of a political storm because of recent articles in the leftist newsweekly L'Espresso. The magazine has accused Leone of tax evasion, of conducting "parallel diplomaacy" by trying to help two brothers, now both on trial in the Italian Lockheed scandal, to enter business deals with Saudi Arabia, and of unfairly claiming tax breaks on three parcels of land bought in his sons' names in a luxury suburban area north of Rome. Leone's office denied L'Espresso's charges. It called the articles slan- derous and said they did not demon- stratethat public interests were betrayed. 10:15 1:15 4:00 6:45 9:15 JILL CLAYBURGH ALAN BATES REYNOLDS in e "THE E Au- comed for you and e 10:30 12:45 3:45 7:15 9:45 10:40 1:00 4:15 7:00 9:30 CINEMA II presents SUMMER STOCK ~4&!
