Another possibility is development of Massachusetts off-shore oil deposits. Establishment of job retraining centers in poverty areas. Easing of credit through government insurance.

A I advocate graduated state income tax to increase needed revenue and to alleviate overburdened municipal real estate tax. I vigorously support Kerner Commission's recommendation for a system of income supplementation which would develop incentives for fuller employment and provide a minimum standard of decent living for the underprivileged. I support reduction of House to 160. Single-member districts; added staff assistance. I oppose limiting length of sessions.

Paul J. Cavanaugh (D), 14 Spring st, Medford. Age: 32. Occupation: State representative; lawyer. Education: Suffolk B.A.; Suffolk Law School, LL.B.; Boston U.

of Denver Law School. Public Service: Representative, 1963 to present A Yes, such a system of taxation would be fairer to low- and middle-income tax- payers and would facilitate filing of both state and Federal returns. Increased work training and rehabilitation programs, and increased availability of social workers and professional counseling. Long needed reform in mechanical workings of the Legislature is professional staffing of committees. Such staffing would be extremely beneficial to legislators and make them a more knowl-edgable and efficient legislative body.

Louis H. Irving (R), 15a Taylor st, Medford. Age: 36. Occupation: Tax examiner, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Education: Bently School of Accounting.

A If voters expressed a desire for graduated income tax, I would be required to vote their wishes. General 1 percent sales tax. Job-training programs should be initiated for those on welfare, that they may one day be able to help themselves. Cut Legislature to 160 members. Rather than increasing legislators' salaries, money would be better spent for staff assistance, so legis-.

lators may better understand bills on which they must vote. John J. McGIynn (D), 20 Cushing Medford. Age: 46. Occupation: Government.

Education: Northeastern; Suffolk Portia Law. Public Service: Legislature, 5 terms; mayor, 3 terms; councilor, 7 terms. A Power to tax is the power to destroy. I am not in favor of any additional taxation. During past two years a limited sales tax and an income tax increase have been imposed upon people.

Burden of taxation on the citizenry is now far too great. Make additional job opportunities available so as to curtail the giveaway of public funds. Encourage self-reliance. A professional staff assistance. George L.

Sacco Jr. (D), 185 Salem st, Medford. Age: 31. Occupation: State representative; lawyer. Education: Suffolk A.B.; Northeastern Suffolk Law School, LL.B.

Public Service: Medford School Committee; representative. A Elimination of car ex- veteran, U.S. Air Force. A Yes. Any effort beyond encouragement or requested assistance would be denial of self-help theory.

I would be amenable to requests. Reduction of member-ship does not guarantee or suggest increased effectiveness, unless we embrace a dictatorial system. I reject both reduction or singleness of thought. I would consider increased salaries as secondary to the increase of staff and office space. Irving Fishman (D) 1457 Beacon st, Newton.

Age: 47. Occupation: State representative, lawyer. Education: Boston U. School of Law. Public Service: Representative, 1962 to present A Yes.

Reorganize welfare system to provide incentives for increasing income and to protect family integrity; job-training and public works programs to promote full employment; assured education through graduate level by scholarships and work study programs; and othe measures to encourage home ownership. I voted to reduce House from 240 to 160; reduction in size and professional staff aid would improve effectiveness of Legislature. Theodore D. Mann R), 21 Littlefield Newton. Age; 46.

Occupation: State representative; insurance. Education: Attended B.U., B.C. Public Service: Newton alderman 4 terms; representative, 2 terms. A Governor appointed financial advisers to study tax structure. As needs develop, Legislature should have available reasonable alternatives for raising revenue.

Based upon study information I would make judgment for best program. Support establishment of day-care centers for working mothers. Support community cooperative programs designed for job training and placement. Support referenda allowing reduction in size of house.

Support unicameral legislature to provide more efficient government for our complex society. John F.

Upton (R), 35 West Medford. Age: 25. Occupation: Teacher, Boston public schools. Education: Coo-Iidge College; Boston State College. A I would advocate a profit-based real estate transaction tax, lowering of the present $2000 deduction, doubling auto inspection fee with the second dollar going to the Dept.

Public Service: Representative, 1965 to present. A Under aforementioned circumstances I would support graduated income tax. My research has proven it is most progressive way of taxatioa Establishment of clinics to evaluate what qualifications or blocks exist in the line of employment.

A If additional taxes are necessary, most equitable method is state graduated income taw. However, before new taxes are levied, programs should be scrutinized for tightening.

More utilization of present on-the-job training programs. Additional scholarships for children of low-income families. Setting-up of state day-care centers for working mothers. Migrant workers should be alerted to special classes available. Size of House should not be reduced.

I do not believe Legislature ineffective now. However, more staff assistants and office space for all legislators would be important improvements. Ernest McKenzle 36 Charlotte Walt ham. Age: 51. Occupation: Sales representative.
