<br />120 <br /> <br />120 <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: Your tendency is to go upon the acreage only <br /> <br /> <br />and to reason that if the lower states have not enough, the Upper <br /> <br /> <br />states must yield enough. to make up the deficiency. <br /> <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: I think vie have Mr. Carpenter's views clearly. In <br /> <br /> <br />order that we might have some progress, we will now,hear Mr. <br />Horvie1. <br />MR. NORVI~L: This is somewhat similar to the second proposi- <br /> <br /> <br />tion I made, as re stated by Hr. Davis. <br /> <br /> <br />NR. . HOOVER: Before you proceed I would like to get an expres- <br /> <br /> <br />sion from the other members vlhether they are prepared to adhere to <br /> <br /> <br />Hr. Carpenter's view or not? <br /> <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: I might further state before we get their ex- <br /> <br /> <br />pression that I am in this position, that I represent a state <br />whose people, by reason of successive defensive litigation of <br />various suits, in none of ,n1ich the adverse parties have as yet <br />boen successful, whose people have become keenly sensitive to not <br />only their rights but some of them entertain views cf the most <br />extreme character and are very insistent that those most extreme <br /> <br />views be adhered to. I am, therefore, put in this position, of <br /> <br /> <br />saying frankly to the Commission that anything that is here done <br /> <br /> <br />will be viewed with an unusual sC~ltiny and that the hazard ,of <br /> <br /> <br />taking any position other than that ,n1ich will meet with the <br /> <br /> <br />common approval of the people is liable to ultimately meet in de- <br /> <br /> <br />feat, no matter ho.' hard tbe rest of us try to prevent, it. I do <br /> <br /> <br />not mean. .that at all in the nature of a threat. I simply mean <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br />. <br /> <br />vi. <br />
