Excerpt from Constructive Democracy
While neither of the historic parties in the United States is in any peculiar sense the custodian Of the constructive principle, it is nevertheless true that in a republic political results can only be achieved by means of party organization. But no party owns the public confidence, and no party can safely presume upon a long lease Of power because it has won a sweeping victory at the polls.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the significance of the Newlands Irrigation Bill, which was signed into law in 1902. The act harnessed the possibilities of irrigation to dramatically increase agricultural land use across the Western United States for settlement by new communities. Introduced by Representative Francis G. Newlands, the bill allowed for vast tracts of arid land to be opened for development, greatly expanding the country's capacity for agriculture and industry. The author traces the historical context that led to the bill's passage, and in doing so, reveals the land speculation and political corruption of the era. The book also discusses the broader implications of the bill, which laid the foundation for federally funded water projects and the conservation movement that continues to shape the American landscape.
