do is revise the rates on commodi-
ties already on the list"
AS one of the first steps in the in

ligerent members of the senate fl
nance committee today launched
an investigation which may result in
abolishing the office of state fran
ohise tax commissioner.
Charges of 100 much duplication
between that office and the state
board Of equalization prompted
Senator Ralph E. Swing, San Ber-
nardino, chairman of the finance
committee to call a special hearing
on the matter next Tuesday.
Members of the board of equali-
zation and Albert A. Manship, state
franchise commissioner, will be
summoned before the committee at
that time to explain the various
functions of their offices.

the collection of tax of four per
cent on the net income of banks
ana corporations and it was claimed
this could be handled with less ex-
penses by the board of equalization

sideration by the committee of the

HOSPITALS PLAN
TO ASSIST POOR
MEETS SUCCESS

LOS ANGELES. March &c. U.P)--
Making good its recently announced
policy of opening its doors to sick
women and men, regardless of their
ability to pay for medical treatment,
Angelus hospital had 25 new pa
tients today.
Twenty-Five more needy cases will
be accepted today, and rs tomorrow,
when the capacity of the hospital
will be filled. But more will be
cared for in turn as these rs beds
are vacated, 1t was announced.
Long before the doors of the hos
pital opened yesterday, there was
a waiting line Of persons anxious to
take advantage of the humanita-
rian offer. During the day more
than $50 personal applications were
made, while at least tWo-score let
tiers from invalids were received.
When DR.. r. 3. jenkins, chief
surgeon, announced the new policy
which would make Angelus hospi-
tai unique among private institu-
tions of its kind in the west, he
placed his confidence in philan-
thropic citizens to back him to the
limit. His judgment was confirmed
when a flood of mail. enclosing
checks, and from physicians offer
ing their services, was received.
Two distinct classes of the Los
Angeles unemployed will be cared
for, DR.. jenkins said.
There are those who are desti-
tute and unable to secure help from
the county hospital because they are
not residents of the county as the
law understands it," he said. Per
sons must be here a year before
they can get county aid.
Then there are those whose
homes are mortgaged to the limit,
and in dire need, who cannot get
county aid because, under the pau
pers act, they own property and
are not entitled to aid"

sites of former Indian camps and
work on the rock carving in the
river, the staff, headed by DIR. Donald
A. Cadzow, archaeologist, of Auburd,

at the Capitol at Harrisburg.
In an improvised laboratory in the
basement of the State Library and

storing and cleaning the varions In
dian artifacts recovered in last sum-
mer's excavations. This work has
now been virtually completed and
soon all of the museums trained and
experienced employees will be dis
patched to Safe Harbor to assist in
the work ofremoving the most valu-
able petroglyphs.
Last year the musem staff made
plaster casts of all the glyphs and
these were carefully stored in the

summer the models Of the terrain at

DR.. Cadzow has asserted that these
petroglyphs are at least 500 years
old, and may be 5000 years old.
BY placing them in the State Mu-
