uaIe IN dlgglng this giant among
irrigation bitches. 49,
Good progress also is being made
on construction of the Imperial
Dam, the diversion works in the
Colorado River at the head of the
All-American canal Is miles north
of Yuma, AriZ., and on the desilt-
ing works which will remove the
silt from the waters diverted into
the canal. Work is in progress un-
der contracts of a total value of
$12,155,080.90, and about 1000 men
are employed in this construction.
The All-American canal will re-
place the present main canal serv-
ing the Imperial Valley and loop
ing SO miles through Mexican ter
ritory. 1t will be 80 miles long,
and 52.5 miles have been excavat-
ed. 1t is estimated that a total
of 62,000,000 cubic yards of ma
terial will have to be excavated
to complete the canal. Approx
mately IA per cent of this total
has been excavated to date.
Several large structures are un-
der contract, including wash ov-
erchute structures, one of which
is nearing completion, and a rail-
road and highway bridge.
Between 1850 and 1900 men
now are employed on the ALL
American canal project with the
employment peak not anticipated
until after January l. Chan Liv-
ingston, head of the National Re-
employment service declared the
project now demands workmen of
most of the major types of crafts.
Men constantly are being as
signed and reassigned to the con-
tractors as construction passes
through the various phases of de-
velopment.
The numbers of men required
for the work dropped off some
what during the summer months
but rapidly rose to the present
point with the advent OF cold
weather.
Because of extreme temperatures
little concrete was poured during
June, July, August and September,
but since the first of October con-
crete work has progressed rapid
ly. At Imperial Dam both the
California and Arizona abutments
are being built. Concrete pilings
to support the headworks for the
All-American canal On the Cali
fornia side and the headworks Of
the Gila Valley canal on the Ari-
zona side and other portions Of
the structure are being placed. OF
a total of $3.50 concrete piles re-
quired in this construction, 1,097
had been driven to October l.
Excavation at Imperial Dam has
totaled 1,815,700 cubic yards, and
2,592,0O0 pounds of steel sheet pill
ing have been placed.

talked to many people representing
all classes and all races. Mr.. Lorin
Thurston, publisher of the Daily Adver-
tiser, does not believe the islands are
ready for statehood at this time, but
will be when the orientals are thor
oughly Americanized and when the
dual standards of wages, of hours and
of living have been overcome. He be-
lieves these will be accomplished with
in a few years.
Mr.. Joseph harrington, publisher of
the Daily Star-Bulletin, is insistent
that congress grant statehood now.
Under the present territorial status he
feels congress can at any time legis-
late the islands out of business by re-
stricting or prohibiting exports to the
American mainland, as was done in
the case Of sugar.

not wish to be named, agrees with Mr..
Thurston. She fears Japanese domina-

Take Politics Seriously.
In a social, political or cultural way
there is no race problem in Hawaii.
The island people. whether they be
"haolis" (whites), orientals, Polyne-
slams or native Hawaiians, take their
politics seriously. But in politics there
are no racial blocs. There are not
more than 25 negroes in the islands,
but a negro was elected to the island
legislature. BY far the largest single
racial group are the japanese, but new
er more than three Japs have been
members of the legislature at any one
time.

 If law which imposes a tax on gasoline shows that the tax is im- posed on the consumer and not the dealer, the consumer may deduct as tax, for Federal income-tax pur- poses, the amount of the gasoline tax paid by him; but the taxpayer must have kept records of the pay ment of such taxes in order that the deduction may be substantiated as is required by the law and the regula- tions. The federal gasoline tax is not deductible by the consumer. A taxpayer may ascertain whether the gasoline tax imposed by a state is deductible by the consumer or by the dealer by addressing an inquiry to the collector of internal revenue for his district.
 In any case where the gasoline purchased is used for business pur- poses the tax may be added to the cost of gasoline and deducted as business expense; but where that is done, the gasoline tax cannot be de- ducted separately under the item of taxes.

SEATTLE, Feb. 1l.-Finishing four game road trip with the dis tinction of having won all games, the University of Washington bas- ketball team is home again. Their victories over Oregon and Oregon State on the opponents courts have left the Huskies sitting high on top of the percentage column with the rare achievement of having half the season gone without defeat.
 Arriving at the 1000 per cent place, an honor attained by no other Pacific Coast team this sea- son, has been no bed of roses. The final game between Oregon State and Washington found the Huskies behind 20 to 10 at the end of the first half. The thriller ended with a 35 to 31 victory for Washington, with special honors going to reserve, Hunt Paterson, who went into the game when Egge was busted on personals during the final half and scored 10 points.
 Washington's sports record for the five-day period beginning a week ago last Friday and ending Tuesday of last week is notable. The HuSkies not only won four basketball games in this period against the most formidable oppon- ents in the Conference but on Friday won their first ice hockey match of the season against the University of British Columbia in Seattle. Over the week -end Wash ington's ski team placed first in the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate Ski championships at Yosemite, which they. entered for the first time in history Ten Pacific Coast univer- sites were entered in this tourna- ment.
