'DRYS WIN
SUPREME COURT OF COLORADO
DECIDES DENVER IS SUBJECT
TO PROHIBITION CLAUSE.
Special Election NuIIified and "Wets"
Must Accept Decision Made by
Rest of State, and Close
All Saloons Jan. 1. -
Western Newspaper Union News Service


Denver, Dec. 7.-Denver must be-
come "dry" on Jan 1, according to
the ruling of the Supreme Court in
its decision in the home rule liquor
case rendered Monday morning.
The decision was rendered en- banc
by the court, the opinion having been
written by Chief Justice Gabbert.
The court held that the Denver
charter, drawn under provisions of the
twentieth, or home rule, amendment
to the state constitution, does not
serve to exempt this city from the
scope Of the statewide prohibition
amendment adopted by vote of the
people Nov. 8, 1914, and the prohibi-
tion-enforcement statute passed by the
Legislature last winter in conformity.
+ The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by agreement between the at
torney general and the city attorney
to determine the legality Of the ac-
tion Of the Denver city council in
granting liquor licenses extending be-
yond Jan. /, 1916, when the statewide
prohibition amendment becomes effec.
tive.
The city council granted the H.
censes in accordance with the amend
ment to the city charter adopted at
the municipal election last spring,
known as the home-rule for liquor
amendment. Upon petition of the at.
torney general and city attorney the
Supreme Court in September agreed
to take original Jurisdiction in the
case on the ground that the issue in
volved was of great public interest
and should be determined before the
first of the year.
A writ of certiorari was issued by
the court directing the city to show
cause why 1t should not be ordered to
cancel the liquor licenses issued by it
and extending beyond that date.
The contention of the attorneys TO.
the city was that the home rule
amendment to the constitution gives
Denver and other cities similarly Or
ganized exclusive right to regulate
their local and municipal affairs. This
right was not abridged or repealed
with regard to the regulation Of the
liquor traffic by the prohibition amend
ment, it was contended.
The state took the position that the
regulation of the sale of liquor is a
police power and that the exercise of
police power is vested within the state
alone and cannot be delegated to any
unit of government within the state
Such a right as that claimed by Den.
YER, the states attorneys argued,
would be recognizing the authority of
state within the state, which is pro-
hibited by the federal constitution.
1t was also contended by the state
that the repeating clause of the pro-
hibition amendment repealed anything
In the twentieth, or home rule, amend
ment which might be construed to
give this authority to Denver or other
home rule cities in Colorado.
In the decision all liquor licenses ex-
tending into 1916 are determined a
nullity and it devolves upon the city
council to cancel those running after
Jan. 1.
The attorneys for the drys were re.
tanned by the Colorado Women's
Christian Temperance Union and com
pensated by the women Of the state.
