Gifford Pinchot highlighted two articles in the September 19, 1903, edition of the Salt Lake Herald. The first, “Modify the Land Laws Is Congress’ Decision,” describes the debates and resolutions of the National Irrigation Congress held in Ogden, Utah. The fiercest debate was over a proposed resolution that favored the repeal of the timber and stone act, the desert land act, and the commutation clause of the homestead law. Instead, the Congress resolved to press for “modifications in raid laws as will save the remaining public lands for actual settlers who will found homes and live upon said lands.” The second article, “Resolutions That Were Acted On By Congress,” summarizes the various issues that were discussed in the National Irrigation Congress.
