Delegate Wilson of Arizona argues for federal reclamation of arid lands with irrigation over state sovereignty plans. He cites 150 million acres suited for irrigation, warns against land and water privatization, and points to historical failures of state-led schemes while touting government-led projects as the path to prosperity and food security.
The author argues the United States should reclaim western lands for public use, citing massive prior outlays for inland commerce and land grants. He asserts federal action would balance regional inequities and demonstrates the government’s past generosity in canal, harbor, and land programs benefiting eastern states while urging reclamation for the west. He concludes recovery is a duty to the nation and its people.
