FEDERAL LOSS ON RECLAMATION
When the secretary of the interior reports that S26,
000,000 out of $200,000,000 spent by the government in
reclamation is lost, that is no cause to condemn reclam
ation as a federal policy, nor to hold the states respon
sible for the loss nor to visit sweeping condemnation on
the settlers. That the government itself is mainly re
sponsible for the loss is implied by the board of survey,
which found that more than $27,000,000 was lost by set
tlers, "due to lack of fertility, inadequate water supply
and other physical causes." It was the duty of the
government to ascertain' that soil was fertile before put
ting water on it ana to put adequate water on tertile land.
If sound business methods had been applied to the j
reclamation of arid land by investment of their own ;
capital, the government would first have ascertained that !
the land was fertile, omitting any parti, of the area that
were not, then would have ascertained cost of construe-;
tion and possible production of the soil, compared the
two to determine whether the scheme was financially
feasible, if the conclusion was favorable, would have c'j: the !v'-,---'i-' imon

Most of the blunders that caused loss were the re

business in a businesslike manner. For that reason, to
impose on the state governments the completion of the
work after the nation has begun it would be an addition
