Show 1 WASHINGTON ROUNDUP B pEN. WALLACE f. BENNETT Much has been said during recent weeks about the Administrations no new starts', policy in the field of reclamation, and it has been charged that Utah is being hurt by this doctrine. Since the charge is so serious and so completely misleading, I feel that it is time to set the record straight on the Administrations reclamation policy and to point out how fortunate Utah has been in obtain-in- g reclamation funds during recent years. As I indicated in a statement in Salt Lake City recently, I believe that the Brigham Young Era and the Eipenhower Administration will go down in history as' the two periods of greatest development of Utahs water and soil resources. ' Since 1952 the Federal government has spent $214 million for projects in Utah. During the 48 years from the start of .the reclamation program in '1906 through the end of 1952, only $50.9 million was spent on Utah projects. Thus, in seven years, the Eisenhower Administration has spent four times as much on Utah reclamation projects as was spent during the preceding 48 years. President Eisenhowers Fiscal 1960 Budget, . presently being considered by Congress, asked for $68 d million for Utah and projects. This amount for just one year is more than was appropriated during the entire 48 years prior to President Eisenhowers election. Yet some politicians insist that Utah is on a starvation reclamation diet, and imply that the State is going through an unprecedented period of retrenchment in this field ! t Not only has the President supported reclamation, but he obtained Congressional approval of the 1954 Watershed and Flood Protection Act, which has been a great help to the State. Projects included under this Act in Utah include the $3.8 million American Fork-Dr- y Creek project in Utah County, the 334,200 Green Lake project near Cedar City, the $201,217 and Sage Flat project near Richfield, the $556,013 Pleasant Creek project in Sanpete County, and the $210,218 Santaquin project at Santaquin. There were no such projects in Utah under any prior Administrations. The President also submitted legislation to Congress which became the Small Reclamation Projects Act of 1956. Under that Act, the Bountiful project has received $3,510,000 and the .South Davis project received $634,000. It seems prob&ble that the Creek project will get; funds this year. I have already contacted the committee in an effort to secure $402,000 for the project .Moreover, the Haights Creek project lias teen approved by the Secretary of Elder project is awaitthe Interior and the Weber-Bo- x ing the approval of the Bureau of the Budget. The six Watershed projects and, the two Small Reclamation . projects when coupled with the Jordan River Flood Control project, the Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge Dams and the Vernal project hardly support irresponsible charges that the Eisenhower Administration is trying to throttle resource development in Utah. Certainly these projects have had support, but the initiative has come from the Eisenhower Administration, and they have had the PresiUtah-relate- Mill-Cany- Center-ville-Deu- el dents whole-hearte- support d Community beautification contest Open to civic and church groups T fear we in Utah have lost a lot of the spirit of cooperation our ancestor had in community and beautification." building Thia ia tha observation of Dr. Carl Frischknecht, director of the Extension Service at Utah State University, Logan.
