<br /> <br />]lilt. HOOVER: I think we might leave that open for debate <br /> <br />at another session thus giving us some time to think it over, <br /> <br />If we can take that as a tentative arrangement He might <br /> <br />#0 <br /> <br />then go to the third point, which we defered in an endeavor <br /> <br />,~ <br /> <br />to assist in this particular discussion, That was the quest- <br /> <br />ion of the quantitative division. On that lie have agreed <br /> <br />tentatively to a ten year average'with an annual minimum,' but <br /> <br />we have not discussed any question of figures. <br /> <br />~1R. CARPEIFl'ER: Speaking of minimuni, during the' recess <br /> <br />the matter of that minimum was discussed some1Vhat by Mr. Meeker <br /> <br />and myself, vlhenever that minimum is considered it must be <br /> <br />realized,_and I Hant to reiterate it, - that the minimum, that <br /> <br />the necessity for a minimum results from the penalty visited <br /> <br />upon the source. It comes from a drought that strikes at the <br /> <br />'*' <br /> <br />roots of agriculture in the upper section, The result of that <br /> <br />drought afflicting that section is what produces the reduction <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />in the stream. Therefore, the minimum should be of such a <br /> <br />quantity that the penalty of the drought will be equallydistri_ <br /> <br />buted over the 1Vhole river system. <br /> <br />I might suggest one factor that might enter into the <br /> <br />discussion in view of Mr. Norviel's statement this morning. <br /> <br />Practically all of the available lands in the State of Colorado, <br /> <br />- I am excluding forest reserve and the areas Hithdrawn,.' are <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />;. <br /> <br />now settled, or being settled, so that the visitation of a <br /> <br /> <br />drought will affect the people of the entire area in that <br /> <br />state. Hence the idea in fixing the minimum should not be to <br /> <br />guarantee that the 10Her division ldll have enough in, low years, <br /> <br />because that would be unfair, The idea Should be, in fixing <br />14th-S.F. <br />33 <br /> <br />179 <br />
