PUEBLO CASE DECIDED
SUPREME COURT sUsTAINs COM
MISSION GOVERNMENT.
Chief Justice Musser-Justice
White Dssents.

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 a 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 SUI
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 a 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.
Decision written by Chief Justice
Musser, Justice White dissenting and
Judstice Hill not taking part.

Dear Boy: We got here safe last

OF course, the rooms are hot and small
and hotels have no shade,
But there's a splendid orchestra
such lovely airs they played!
We can not eat the food at all, but
they have Dresden plates
They ought to be pure gold to make
thing even up with the rates.
Fut we are quite contented here, al
though we can not sleep, ,zs
Eut this is such a stylish place, with
nothing old or cheap.
They have a dance most every night
the SWEETEST OF affairs.
1t rather spoils things, though, to
have some people put on airs.
Wen havoto have some new clothes
dear; of course, you'll think it
When we are far away from you, and
seeking peace and rest.
So when you send another check,
please think of what I say
Perhaps you had better strain a point
and send the check today.
W. have to keep dressed all the time
It . such a lively place,
So don't be stingy with the check
dear boy. Your loving Grace.

DARK PROSPECT FOR
SHOW SEASON

New York. Aug. 1S.-A number of
the playhouses open their doors to-
night, and another week or two will
see the theatrical season of 1914
begun in earnest. The thespians who
have signed up" are happy that an
end has come to our summer of dis
content" But many of the prominent
players and virtually all of the man
ayers are viewing the prospect with
feelings of doubt. Last season was
poor one from financial viewpoint and
it is feared that the season about to
begin may be worse. Evidence of the
general feeling that prevails in the
profession" is afforde dby the fact
that numerous actors and actresses
whose names never appear except in
the largest type have spent nearly
all of this summer touring the Pacific
coast and wastern Canada or appeal
ing in stock companies in various
cities and resorts. They have passed
up their customary vacations in orde
to recoup their losses of last year or L
fatten their pocketbooks in anucipa
