EMERSON: It soems to mo that tho second sontonco makes a mountaL."'l <br /> <br />out of a molehill, and the protection afforded by that sentence is quite in- <br /> <br />sign'if:1cant. <br />uppor statos. <br /> <br />It just raiscs a point for attack of tho logislaturcs in tho <br /> <br /> <br />It givos them nothing and it opens up a great fiold for adverso <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />discussion in tho uppor basin. <br />CI-L\IRIi]'\N HOOVER: If rights horotoforc vostod shall romain unimpaired by <br /> <br /> <br />any provision of this compact, you don't roquire one vrord morc than that. <br /> <br /> <br />MR. CARPBNTEH: You leD;ve the gato wide open for everlastingly inject- <br /> <br /> <br />ing controvorsy along the whole river unless thd is spec:Lfically tonod <br /> <br /> <br />down bY: the provisions vrhich follow. The whole theory of this compact 'is <br /> <br /> <br />this: That the water apportioned to each basin is, adequate not only for all <br /> <br /> <br />of its present uses, but for the, increase of development within eachbasjJl.' <br /> <br /> <br />CI~\:ffiHAN HOOVEH: The only question at stake here, j_s that the present <br /> <br /> <br />uses of the southern basin are not over three and a half r.lillion acro feet <br /> <br /> <br />all put' together. Here is a provision for: eir,ht and n half r.lillion feet in <br /> <br /> <br />perpotuity. They are covered three tir.les over todny by this Compact, m1d <br /> <br /> <br />the one substantial ground for complaint' on tho part of the users of the <br /> <br /> <br />lovror water is that until they have sotrage, the low water floTr might be <br /> <br /> <br />jeopardized by any influonco that they were limited to by this compact. <br /> <br /> <br />They have one ground for complaint which is just, nnd that is that th:Ls <br /> <br /> <br />compact might limit the low water flow. When that lov! viater flow is taken <br /> <br /> <br />care of'they have no other complaint. That is cured by st.orage. <br /> <br /> <br />1m'. CARPBNT"H: And when that s:borage occurs any possible claim from the <br /> <br />upper t rritory should at once cease, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />c <br />
