DECISION IN TATE CASE
SUPREME COURT susTA;ks CON-
MISSION GOVERNMENT.
Opinion in Pueblo Case Written by
Chief Justice musser-Justice
White Dissents.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Commissi government in
Pueblo. adopted September 19, 1911. in
the form OF 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.
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
entail 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.

Musser, Justice White dissenting and
