<br />a service as any use of the water Arizona might obtain. Hence <br /> <br />whatever water does not come to Arizona, will undoubtedly be <br /> <br />'used in an eqaally beneficial way in the upper states. Of <br /> <br />course, certain loss should be figured in. In other words, <br /> <br />any waters ,~ don't use will come to the lower states. I am <br /> <br />Hilling to consider the matter of a time limit for a recon- <br /> <br />sideration of this agreement. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: "'!hat do you say, Mr. Davis? <br /> <br />MR. S. B. DAVIS: I can see no harm, and I can see no <br /> <br />particular advantage. The general declaration that the compact <br /> <br />may be modified, of course, creates no power, it is really a <br /> <br />statement of 1Jhat 1wuld exist anYVlay. If He provided for the <br /> <br />creation of a new commission, by some provision making it <br /> <br />mandatory upon the various states to make it at some definite <br />i <br /> <br />trme, we would probably be one step in advance. On the other <br /> <br />hand, that commission Hould have to act ,lith the consent of <br /> <br />the several states, requiring unanimous action, and I really <br /> <br />see no particular use to put a pr~vision of that kind in the <br />i <br />compact. If circumstances arose Jhere the compact needed <br /> <br />changing, it is all-Jays Hithin the !powr of the states to do <br /> <br />what is necessary. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: It is merely a positive step to make it <br /> <br /> <br />mandatory ratl1er than simply leav~ng the matter for spontaneous <br /> <br />organization. In other Hords, it might be years and years <br /> <br />before a meeting could be organized to reconsider the compact, <br /> <br />whereas, by the mandato!"} meeting there "ould be a definite <br /> <br />l4th-S.F. <br />12 <br /> <br />158 <br /> <br />158 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
