Reclaim arid lands by federal irrigation plan
George H. Maxwell argues for federal financed irrigation to reclaim 700,000,000 acres of arid public lands. Policy favors government built storage reservoirs and cooperative water companies, selling land and water to settlers with no debt, centered on expansion of western population and infrastructure. The plan includes distribution via state managed reservoirs, preserving grazing lands, and leveraging internal improvements to boost western growth.
