Liberal irrigation bill urged as fair to government and settlers
The Borah Irrigated Homestead bill is praised as reasonable and fair, placing the government lien on reclamation on par with city liens. It requires 40 percent payment before patent, with half land under cultivation, securing 60 percent remaining value and enabling loans. Passage would boost western settlement, fund further irrigation, and counter Canada’s liberal lands. The Commerce Court, led by Judge Martin A Knapp, is criticized for pro railroad bias, and Taft later named him presiding judge. The House move to abolish the court signals doubt about its utility. A pocket motion picture unit, 20 pounds packed and compact, claims easy operation suitable for home use, per Popular Mechanics.
