<br />129 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: I am ,Tilling to agree that every state shall <br />be entitled to 50% of the liater in her domain. I am willing to <br />yield that Colorado shall yield water in excess of 50%. The States <br />of Arizona, etc., should be limited to the use of 50% of the water <br />liithin their t~rritory. <br />MR. HOOVER: In your preliminary statement you only suggested <br />one-third yourself. <br />MR. DAVIS: Probably Colorado is the only State that would agree <br />to that. <br />MR. HOOVER: Mr. Norviel's proposition raises the broad question <br />.as to whether or not it is feasible to proceed on some such idea <br />that he has placed before us and try to find some kind of acreage <br />limitation with the door open to a subsequent allocation when need <br />is proved; 1 would like to find out lihether there is any hope of <br />coming to an agreement on that line. <br />MR. DAVIS: New Mexico agrees to the general plan but not to <br />tho acreage allotted to that State in these figures. <br />MR. HOOVER: How liould that strike ~!yoming? <br />MR. EMERSON: I believe I would agree to it in about the same <br />way as I agreed to Mr. Carponter's proposal. It would be satisfac- <br />tory on the whole to 'Hyorning but I 1>TOuld feel the impossibility of <br />getting it by the legislators of some of the states on the basis <br />of the figures suggested. I would concur with Mr. Davis in that <br />regard. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br />. <br /> <br />H. <br />
