Veto of retroactive bill on Corbett tunnel aid sparks Montana debate
President Taft vetoes section 4,882, an act to relieve laborers and materials providers for the Corbett tunnel work on the Shoshone irrigation project. He warns retroactive legislation would burden reclamation settlers and shift costs from contractors to government. The case involves bondsmen, Wyoming cross-suits, and settlements tentatively set at about $42,000, with broader implications for priority of government claims and funding.

It argues this would shift laborer and material burdens, warns the proposed bill could raise the burden on lands serving the project, and urges against approval to avoid jeopardizing the project’s success.
