We are in favor of amendments to the
National Reclamation Act which wi !
provide for an extension of time for
the repayment of the cost of reclama
tion projects. The settlers should M I
be required to bear the expense Of mis-
takes made by government officials,
and we favor thorough Investigation
of the expenditures uLdeT any project
before the cost of the same is fiualls
determined. In keeping with the demo.
cratic doctrine of local self govern
ment, we demand that the management
and opera, ion of each reclamation pro-
ject be turned over to the water user,
under it at the earliest possible mo
ment, and during the period of CON
struction, and water users shou d he
consulted and their approval obtained
before any contracts are made for the
sale of power or before auy change il
made in the method of distributing
water. Each reclamation homestead
entryman should be permitted to re-
csive patent for the full area of biz
entry. We pledge our enators and
congressman to use all honorable
means to secure the passage OF these
necessary changes III the reclamation
law.
