<br />GOVERNOR CAMPBELL: Yes, if placed in there, the legis- <br />lature would ratify it. <br /> <br />MR. S. B. DAVIS: That ~lould be ~lhere the authority would <br /> <br />come from. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: That would be on the :assumption of a definite <br /> <br />time. <br /> <br />MR. S. B. DAVIS: Of course, that is the obvious way to <br />handle it. I would not say that it could not be done except <br /> <br />in tha t ~lay. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: Wouldn't it be better if we put into the <br />\ <br /> <br />compact a provision that at a given time the governors of the <br />several states appoint a commission to meet and either to <br /> <br />revise or extend the compact ? <br /> <br />MR.S. B. DAVIS: That would be the simplest way. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: I have become convinced tllQt the governors <br /> <br />of the states may presume to exercise the power of appointment <br /> <br />of a compact commission \Iithout legislative act, for the reason <br /> <br /> <br />that whatever is done"in any way, wil~ have to be ratified, <br /> <br />and even though ultra Vines, my impression is that if the <br /> <br />compact "ere ratified it ~Iould become law. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: It would become entirely legal if put in the <br /> <br />compact. <br /> <br />MR.' CARPENTER: Yes sir. A provision that the call having <br /> <br />been made, the governor should appoint a Commissioner, would be <br /> <br />, ' <br />just as 'definite as though a time were set in specific terms. <br />MR; NOIWIE~: That is to say, l1hen the governor in any <br /> <br />states gives at any time , - <br /> <br />l4th-S.F.
