THE LUsk WATER DECISION.
Supreme Court Grants Hearing on
Action to Prevent Bond Sale.


Washington.-Two steps toward the
final termination of all litigation to
prevent the Denver Public Utilities
Commission from building city water
plant. and the issuance of $S,000,000
in bonds to carry out the construction
were taken in the United States Su-
preme Court.
An attorney representing the Den
yer Union Water Company and the
New York Trust Company filed mo-
tion for a rehearing of their suit
against the City and County of Den
yer to prevent the sale of the bonds
for the construction of the municipal
plant, in which a decision favoring the
city was handed down two weeks ago.
Shortly afterwards the Supreme
Court rendered a decision in the
Wheeler-Lusk case, reversing the de-
cision of Judge Robert E. Lewis of
the Denver Federal Court in refusing
to grant the plaintiffs, Mrs. Clara A.
Wheeler and Frank S. Lusk, a hearing
on the grounds that "collusion and
fraud existed in the bringing of the
suit
The court ordered that Judge Lewis
grant the plaintiffs n rehearing, but
held that the main points of the case
already have been decided against the
Denver water case two weeks ago.

DECISION IN TATE CASE.

Opinion in Pueblo Case Written by
Chief Justice Musser-Justice

per Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Commission government in
Pueblo, adopted September 10, 1911, in
the form of a new city charter under
provisions Of Section of Article Xxx
OF the State Constitution-known as
the Rush bill-was declared valid by
the Supreme Court in decision hand
ed down in the Tate case.
The decision was based entirely
upon the home rule" amendment to
Article Xxx of the State Constitution,
adopted at the general election last
November.
In upholding the constitutionality of
the home rule amendment the Su-
preme Court not only declares legal
the Pueblo charter under which COM
mission government displaced the old
form in that city, but also the prefer
ential system Of voting and other pro-
visions contained in the Pueblo char
ter
Court holds that under the initia-
tive and referendum amendment to
the constitution, as many proposals for
constitutional amendments may be
submitted at general election as the
people initiate, and that the old re-
striction of six amendments is not ap-
plicable to the initiative.
The decision leaves valid the consti-
tutional amendment to the Rush bill
adopted last November, under which
the February election in Denver was
held. This makes easier any litigation
that may follow in Denver over change
of government
1t is held, too, that while the people
may initiate as many amendments to
the constitution as they please, the
Legislature is restricted to the old
rule of not more than six at any one
time; and, further, that an initiated
statute is not of the force of an
amendment to the constitution and
may be ruled unconstitutional by the
courts
