Taxpayers Burden TAX COLLECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA 1927–38 ACTUAL 1941 ESTIMATED and fall of tax collections in California since 1927 showing estimated increase by 1941 if proposals now before legislature are adopted. Part prepared by Research Department of California State Chamber Commerce. Chief Howard is Beaten by Lentz Douglas Refuses Welfare Records Santa Ana Chamber Fails to Obtain Information on Old Age Pensions Refusal of Director Thomas Douglas of the county welfare department to permit a check of names of persons receiving old age pensions, by the Santa Ana chamber of commerce research bureau was today considered by the chamber's executive committee. In line with its program for seeking reduction of governmental expense and ever-increasing relief costs, the chamber of commerce desired to check reports that many persons were receiving old age pensions who are not entitled to them. Aroused by the grand jury statement that old age pension expenditures had toaled more than a half million dollars in the first six months of the current fiscal year, the Santa Ana chamber undertook an investigation of the old age pension program in Orange county. Director Douglas of the welfare department told the chamber of commerce that the state political code provides that the old age pension rolls are confidential, and are not open to examination, by anyone not an employee or representative of an agency devoted to social welfare activities, except on order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Despite this apparent stumbling block to a check of the old age pension records, the chamber's research bureau plans to continue efforts to investigate the old age rolls.
