Denver, Nov. ,26.-Judge Palmer of
the District Court early last evening
signed an injunction directed to Gov
'ernor Orman. restraining him from is
suing a proclamation declaring the
Rush bilP' carried and formally or
.dering the adoption of it's provisions.
The recent election gave an over
whelming majority for the home rule
amendment, but the town OF Fletcher,
i'm the name of which the suit has been
claims various constitu-
tions Will be overridden by the meas
ure. Should the home rule amendment
come into effect by the governors
proclamation, the liability OF Denver
bang saddled with the enormous bond-
ed Indebtedness of Fletcher, arising
from the construction of a now worth-
less water plant, will be very small.
Promineht attorneys declared last
night that the enjoining order is worth
less-that a District Court cannot en-
Join. the governor from performing a
purely ministerial duty.
By the injunction Governor James
B. Ormah is. restrained from "doing
any act or. acts under or by virtue,of
a certain pretended amendment to the
constitution of the state, which pur.
ports to be article Xxx of the constitu-
ition, submitted under the title of City
and County of Denver" and ''particu-
larly. from issuing any proclamation
declaring thessaid amendment to have
carried, and putting it into effect" and
from performing any act or acts
thereunder."

by Judge 0. N. Hilton. acting as attor-
ney of the town of Fletcher. if it is sus-
tanned on. further hearing by the court.
will make the Rush amendment, il it
is found on official count to have been
adopted, null and void, and will also
prevent the organization of the coun-

GJvtkNuR ENJOINED FROM
ISSUING A PROCLAMATION

BY many the suit Is considered des--
perate move on the part of the North
erp Finance Company to prevent the
segregation of Fletcher for the reason
that as soon as the Rush bill becomes
operative all hopes of saddling the old
water bonds of that borough on the
city of Denver will vanish. sr
< The Northern Finance Cs ,.,y
practically made the town OF Flelcper
for the purpose of booming its town
lots. A few houses were built on the
prairie, pipe line laid to the Union
] Pacific tracks and the alleged water
works was bonded for large sum. The
town organization was used for the
purpose of floating this enormous issue.
and a suit is now pending alleging
fraud in the election called to vote
upon the issuance of the water works
bonds. -
The Northern Finance Company
likewise operated the Colfax Electric
Railway Company, running from York
street to Aurora or Fletcher. The en-
ployes of this line constituted almost
the entire population of Fletcher. The
few disinterested property owners were
soon frozen out, but seeing the hope
lessness of realizing any money from
the bonds. the. finance company. held
its claim in allegiance. and tried to get
the town annexed to Denver. This
failed, the court holding that Fletcher.
not being contiguous to Denver, could
not be annexed. Another attempt at
annexation so as to shoulder the bonds
upon Denver was made, but was like
wise unsuccessful. The law was then
amended making it necessary to obtain
the acquiescence of the people OF Den
yer to the annexation before such a
plan could be adopted. This was a
hard blow for the Northern Finance
Company, but it is now said to be
adopting these new tactics to prevent
further obstacles in the way of a third
attempt at annexation

THE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS
AND WHAT IT INDICATES

The Colorado Springs Gazette sums
up the result of the vote on the amend
ments at the recent election in Colo
RADIO as follows:
There are many interesting facts to
be observed in connection with the
vote on the constitutional amendments
that were submitted to the people of
the state at the last election.
1t is known in general way that all
the amendments except the Bucklin
bill were approved by very large ma
jority.- and as. the precise vote in any
county made very little difference in
the total result. the returns on the
amendments were very slow in getting
in and have not yet been completely
tabulated.
One of the most evident facts in this
connection is that the voters of the
state do not appear to have had the
slightest difficulty in marking their bal
lots according to their desires In FL
lPaso county. for instance, there were
1854 votes for the Rush amendment.
and 655 votes against it. For the eight
hour law there were 1861 votes and
l707 against it. For the Bucklin bill
there were 2,131 votes. and 6,666 votes
against it. 1t is evident from these fig
Iures that 1000 more votes were cast
ION the Bucklin bill than on either of
the other propositions. but there is not
Ithe slightest indication that the voters
found any difficulty in carrying out
their intentions. and the number of
spoiled ballots was not considerably
larger than in ordinary elections.
OF the twenty-four counties whose
returns on the Rush amendment are
now before us, only two. Douglas and
Huerfano. voted against it, while in
most cases the majority in it's favor
was very great.
Returns are at hand from twenty

OFFICERS WOULD
RESTORE CANTEEN

Washington, Nov 26.-The War De-
partment is in constant receipt of
data concerning the canteen question
and the effect of its abolition on the
army. Apropos of this the statement
is made at the War Department that
only such information as has been
contained in the reports of army Off.
GERS upon the subject has been given
to the public. and it is denied that
any effort has been made to influence
public opinion on the matter.
The recommendations of the adju.
tant general in his annual report were
based on the information contained in
these reports The existence of some
thing like 1,400 saloons in the vicin
fty of the army posts Is shown by the
$50 to 300 of which are said to have
been opened since the closing of the
canteen. The majority OF posts have
reported that drunkenness and court
martials for drunkenness have In.
creased; that desertion and absence
without leave have increased that the
effect of the closing of the canteen
upon the morality, discipline and
health of the troops has been bad.
and. while many post commanders are
in consequence of frequent changes OF
garrison and from the absence OF cor.
rect data upon which to base compar-
isons. unable to report as to the de-
gree of detriment created by the clos
ing OF the canteen. 1t can be stated as
an absolute fact that In no single case
has a post commander expressed an
opinion that the effect OF the abolI-
ton of the sale OF beer in the army
has resulted In improved conditions.
Attention is called to the reports
from army officers In the Philippines.

eight counties for the vote on the eight
hour law, and of these only four coun-
ties declared in the negative, the ma
Jor1ty in most cases being larger for the
eight-hour law than for the Rush bill.
The vote on the Bucklin amendment
is particularly interesting. We have
received official returns from thirty
counties upon this amendment. These
returns do not include Arapahoe, Del
ia, La Plata, Pueblo or Summit coun-
ties, but do include the other large
counties of the state. The total vote
of these thirty counties is 1853 in ia
vor and 35,S69 against. The cities and
the farming regions voted strongly
against the bill. while in the mining
counties the vote was more in its fa-
vor. Six counties out of the thirty in
our list voted for the bill. viz: Clear
Creek. Dolores. Lake. Pitkin. San Juan
and Teller. and these counties, presum-
ably. II the amendment had passed.
would have exercised their right of To-
cal option and would have exempted
land values from local taxation.
Whether the single tax theory could
have had fair trial in mining coun-
try where the amount of agricultural
land is very small and where the
great bulk of the property is in build
ings. stocks and goods and undevel-
oped mines, is question whose discus
sion is of some interest. but of no prac-
tical value at the present time. The
average vote on the bill in the ordi-
nary counties was about in the propor-
tion of two to one. Some of the ag-
ricultural counties like Larimer and
Otero gave vote of ten to one against
the proposed law. In Huerfano coun-
ty the vote was 2.146 against and SO in
favor. while Conejos did even better

favor.
