 He expressed himself as favorabIy impressed with what he had seen of Phoenix. and the spirit of willingness and cooperation manifested by the citizens whom he has met up to this time
 There is no doubt in my mind" said Major Depuy, that Phoenix citizens win not be slow in responding to the call, for personal service in the effort that is to be made by the chamber Of commerce to build a bigger and better organization to promite the communi- tvs interests. And, after all. indi- vidual interests are wrapped up in community interests. and community betterment means individual better ment. Phoenix in 1880 will be just what the citizens of today plan it. Phoenix has the resources and the scp- portunity and. dare say. a full ap-
 preciation of it's possibilities. The
 citizens, I feel sure. win be willing to
 do their individual and collective part l by the city when called upon to do so. !

 AS FEDERAL HIGHWAY
 AID FROM CONGRESS

T am sure that the next congress will provide at least $100,000,000 for federal aid for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923, so that you are safe in making plans for the next two years accordingly" was the word contained in a letter from Cron gressman Carl Hayden to Thomas Maddock, state en- gineer, in reference to the Sells bill. which the Arizona congressman be- lieves will pass on the next suspension day, February [.
 If the situation is as Congressman Hayden believes. there will be s2.So0.- 900 additional federal aid available for Arizona in the next two years.
 The American Association of State Highway Officials have endorsed the Sells bill, and w. c. Markham, its leg islative representative, is asking the heads of the highway departments in the different states to secure the en- dorsement of their state legislatures for the measure. MT.

 The question of establishing a centrai finger print bureau with Phoenix as the headquarters was advanced by V. D Bledsoe, finger print expert for the sheriff's office here. The cost of such a bureau. Mir. Bledsoe said. would be about s3,000 & year. Officers present 1 favored such a system
 Through the system advocated. each l county of the state would send finger 1 prints to Phoenix to be checked up or 1 sent on to Leavenworth for further | checking. By having a. central bureau, ] MT.

That rehabilitation of the remnant of the Hawaiian race lies in the sue cess of the back to the. soil move ment is the opinion of AAiko Akana, noted civic worker, who is spending few days in Phoenix en route to the islands from Washington, where he has been since November in the in terests of the rehabilitation bill.
 MT. Akana planes the congested liv- ing conditions of modern times for the few Hawaiians left in a race which once numbered 400.000 people and now has been reduced to 22,000.
 It is my belief that after the peo- pie get back to the natural condition of life. Hawaii will be rehabilitated, said MT. Akana yesterday.
 A graduate of the Hartford Theo- logical Seminary and the Normal Col lege. MT. Akana has been in close as sociation with Americans for years and admitted he had given thought to the marriage question, the mixing of races, which is becoming more and more popular in Hawaii despite race pre- judice
 "There IS no more interesting ex- perimental ground for testing out possibilities for mixing races than Hawaii" said the Hawaiian. While would not argue against the wish to
 
 est looking people in the world would result from the marriage of the Ha- waiian and the American.''
 Mir AlSana is delighted with Arizona, and it is his regret that he can only be here a few days, as he must return to Hawaii in time to report to the Hawaiian legislature, which convenes Febraury 23, the result of his visit to | the states.
 I The rehabilitation bill in which he l is interested has passed the lower house and is now in the committee or territories on the senate. The idea oi the bill is for the federal government to reserve 100000 acres of crown land of Hawaii which were held in trust by the Hawaiian monarchy for the in- terdSt of fhe common people.
 ''The lands were the portion sci aside when the great division tool place in 1S4S under King Kamehamehs IT, The object of the bill is to reha- bilitate the race, which is fast de. pleting. It is proposed to divide tht land into homestead lots, both for agri- cultural and livestock purposes, tS establish families in places away from city life, where they can get good wholesome food and good whoIesom, living conditions. The bill provide, for small loans of at least s3.000, pay. able in 30 years at per cent, wher, funds are needed for land improve tments, the government to furnish Iagricultural and livestock experts tt teach the people how to cultivate tn, soil and give the benefits of thei knowledge of the cattle industry" MT Akana declares that during tn

 Alone Can Rehabilitate Hawaiians

100 years of Christian civilization in Hawaii the natives have never had the advantages of practical training in industry.
 Sufficient stress has been laid on the religious training, but at the ex- pense of the industrial and business education of the people" he said. This does not reflect on the work of the missionary he added in words of l praise of those who spread the gospel. MT. Akana said that the bill pro- vides for irrigation where a project | be had not from the federal treasury but from one-third of the rentals of the land leased to sugar plantations, l this one- third to make a revolving fund to be accumulated up to s1,000, 900 and spent for rehabilitation. A com mission is to take charge of the work. headed by the governor of Hawaii and five commissioners"
 MT. Akana stated that the bill is the result of agitation begun five years ago against the tenement conditions of Hawaii. The Hawaiian Protective association, through its welfare com mittee, of which MT. Akana is chair man, made an investigation of the sit luation and found the Hawaiian led in the death rate of Honolulu. A fur ther investigation convinced the com mittee that while charitable help was necessary, it could not be continued indefinitely without adding burden to the community as a whole, and the only solution was the removal of fam flies to the country.
 "A resolution to this effect was framed and presented to the legisia- ture. It passed in the February ses- sion of 1920 and the legislature seift a special committee headed by the gov- ernor and representatives of both houses of the legislature to Washing ton, where they were given hearing before the house committee on terri tories. This resolution is the basis oi the bill now before congress-"
 A more industrious race will de velop should the bill carry, asserts
 Mir Akana Those who have gone
 back to the homesteads are prosper lous, contented people and furnished the inspiration for the idea incorporated
 in the bill" he said. He is also ol the opinion the rehabilitation measure if carried will help solve the immi grafton problem.

the house this morning recommended. by a unanimous vote, an appropriation of S100, 100000 for one year beginning July l, 1921. It also carries s3000, 900 for one year for national forest roads and trails. This appropriation is good for two years after the close of the fiscal year for which it will be avail able.
 "This bill also carries with it the authorization to the secretary of agri- culture to grant a different ratio of federal aid in the states where the patented, tax exempt and national for- est lands are more than ten per cent of the total area of all lands in the state.
 "It Is suggested to me by a senator who has charge of appropriation that in all states where it is necessary for the legislature, by law, to appropriate funds to match the appropriation from the federal government. you should have this attended to at once as the bill may not pass congress until the last hours on March 4. Your legis- lature would know how much to ap- propriate since you know what your ratio is this year, as we are receivin 3 1 S1OO, 000, ,000.

 ence the members of congress from 1 your state, but there are now 40 state i legislatures in session and if a large
 majority of them pass a resolution oi that kind the solidarity of the request
 will certainly have a psychologica effect upon the senate.

 The Salt River valley has long been recognized as one of the most pros porous communities in the Southwest, another speaker said. Unless some thing is done to aid the unfortunates now, the result of present conditions will be sung far and wide and will be a real "black eye" to the valley
