Commendation for Reclamation Work Finds Little to Criticize
Washington Bureau of the Standard reports Walter L. Fisher, two years as secretary of the interior, finds commendable work in the reclamation service and few criticisms. He notes vast funds and ongoing large projects like Shoshone and Roosevelt dams, argues costs compare favorably with private builds, and stresses administration and settlement challenges. He urges improved farmer selection, cautious cancellation of failed entries, and a two year residence postponement for reclamation entries to aid early crops. He also details a shift to graduated water payments.

He argues it mainly benefits large private landowners within government projects who had to sell lands for water rights, delays settlers taking over works, weakens the reclamation fund, and shifts public gains to speculators, urging quicker return of investment to spread benefits Westwide.
