Reclamation Policy Shift Faces Congress and States
The article analyzes the 69th Congress potential shift in federal reclamation policy, moving from government built projects to joint federal state development. It notes past failures, financial strains, and calls for settlement advances, low-interest funding, and land pricing agreements to attract capable settlers and recover costs. Dr. Elwood Mead and Secretary Work advocate a human centered, cooperative approach to salvage the program.
