PAGE 4 COMPTROLLER (Continued from page 3) - including a $475 million increase for education, welfare and other programs. MICHAEL J. BAKALIS, DEMOCRAT 168 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago EDUCATION: Austin High School;' B.S. and M.S. Northwestern University; PhD in History, Northwestern University, 1966. O C C U P A T I O N : P u b l i c Administrator and Full Time PanHiHatp ^ ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: Served as State Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1971-1975. Received national recognition for managerial as well as educational reform. ANSWERS: 1. As Comptroller, I would seek to achieve at least three objectives: I would utilize every available public and private resource to make the actual administrative services performed by the Office of Comptroller more efficient. As the state's chief fiscal office, I would strive to make the office a model of productivity and fiscal efficiency, through the use of modern management techniques. I would immediately ^establish a system of public hearings on the state's budget so that the people would have effective input into the spending priorities of state government. I would more aggressively utilize the unique capabilities of this important office, to call public attention to whatever waste and mismanagement exists in state office. 2. At the present time we are in desperate need of a comprehensive public policy on cash management. It seems ridiculous that we can accumulate cash balances in special funds of $1 billion or more and at the same time must delay the payment of bills due to lack of cash in our General Revenue Fund. As comptroller, I would propose a comprehensive cash management system to the General Assembly. Until that is fully developed, I have recommended a two part program for the immediate future. First, transfer 49 special funds which together have cash balances of approximately $56 million to General Revenue. Secondly, grant the Comptroller the legal authority to borrow funds for short periods of time to provide a cash cushion during uneven [feriods of revenue inflow. 33nl LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT DUNHAM k FOR CONGRESSMAN: - Elect One FOR 2 YEAR TERM SALARY: $44,600 The 33rd Legislative District includes precincts 4,6,12 and 16 in Nunda all of McHenry County except precinct Township.

CANDIDATES FOR STATE SENATOR ARE: REPUBLICAN DEMOCRAT JOHN B. ANDERSON, REPUBLICAN 1101 Longworth House Office Bldg., Washington, D.C. EDUCATION: Phi Beta Kapps graduate of the Unviversity of Illinois; University of Illinois Law School, 1946; Master of Law degree, Harvard, 1949. OCCUPATION: Congressman, lawyer. ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: Elected to Congress in 1960; chairman of the House Republican Conference; Second ranking Republican on the Rules Committee; Ranking Republican member of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. ANSWERS: 1. Yes, favor those energy conservation measures now in effect, e.g., 55 M.P.H. fuel efficient auto standards, conversion from fuel to coal by generating plants. 2. Yes, favor bill reported by House Judiciary Committee. 3. It should take the lead. I supported the Family Assistance Program (FAP» providing federal benefit standards, an income floor, and supplemental assistance for working poor. STEPHEN J. EYTALIS, DEMOCRAT 410 Logan Avenue, Rockford. EDUCATION: Master of Science with distinction from Eastern Illinois University. OCCUPATION: Instructor, Rock Valley College. ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE: Teaching environmental biology, economic botany, anatomy, and physiology enable me to understand the limits of man and our planet - human ecology. ANSWERS: 1. Mandatory energy conservation measures should be taken by establishing strict manufacturing and building standards. Individual energy conservation should be encouraged by tax incentives. Non-renewable forms of energy should be taxed with the revenue used to subsidize conservation measures and to employ ecologically sound renewable energy options. Recycling and mass transit deserve top priority. Economic growth would not be hampered by conservation, on the contrary, the survival of our affluent society depends on conservation. 2. I would support stringent federal legislation which would restrict and assign responsibility for the use of handguns. 3. The federal government should take over all welfare programs consolidating them into a single cash payment system providing a base income for every citizen. Families should receive equal treatment regardless of the presence of a breadwinner to end the current system's tendency to divide family units. A graduated guaranteed income based on income earned and dependents would preserve incentive to work. This measure coupled with national health insurance would eliminate poverty in the United States.

Absentee voting in person to the office of the County Clerk or Election Board closes one day prior to the date of the election. > JACK SHAFFER, REPUBLICAN 8505 Wium Road, Cary EDUCATION: Cary Grade School, Cary, 111.; Crystal Lake High School (class of '60); Bachelor of Science Degree-Business Management, Northern Illinois University-DeKalb.

I am a former employee of Oak Manufacturing of Crystal Lake, 111., and I have been involved in many civic organizations both partisan and nonpartisan, including Rotary, the Jay-cees, Young Republicans and College Young Republicans. ANSWERS: 1. I believe that the assessment functions currently housed primarily in the Department of Local Government should be separated into a special tax assessment commission charged with equalizing assessments throughout the state (including the County of Cook) and that areas that fail to assess according to the state law should be penalized through the school aid formula. I believe that the counties and townships have virtually all the tools they need to effectively do their job, but I would certainly be willing to consider any worthwhile suggests that the public might come up with. 2. The current special session makes Governor Walker's school aid vetoes (Continued on page 5) JACK SHAFFER RICHARD C. KELLY
