Pittman Land Act decision reverses prior ruling in Nevada case
Washington officials report a February 3 ruling by the Secretary of the Interior reversing a October 8, 1920 decision on the Pittman Reclamation Act. Senator Key Pittman pressingly argued for sub surface water development to spur irrigation, challenging the Geological Survey’s conclusion that the Ivanpah valley land was not irrigable at a reasonable cost.

W C Noteware of the Nevada Livestock Association cites declines in population and taxable wealth from 1910 to 1920, notes rising state and county expenditures, and warns that continued tax boosts will drive away industries. He cites 10,000 taxpayers bearing most of the load and 40,000 voters largely untaxed.
