A carload of mincemeat, the kind
that mother didn't used to make, was
recently seized by pure food Officers
of an adjoining state. 1t is said
that the manufacturers acknowledged
that the label did not correspond in
all truthfuness to the contents or the
barrel and they were magnanimous
enough to offer, if the carload OF IN
digestion should be returned to them,
to alter the statement on the labels.
However, the hard hearted judge
would not permit this Now he Is

THE POWER QUESTION.

How far the government has the right
to control power sites and compel pay
ment of fees for the use of public lands
is a question now before the federal
courts in Colorado.
On the one hand it is claimed that east
ern companies are rapidly gobbling up
power sites that should be held in trust
for the use of the people.
But on the other hand the State of
Colorado through its officers, insists
that such matters should be death with
by the state alone. 1t has sought to in
tervene in the suits against the power
gobblers.
1t has been charged that the state of
ficers have succumbed to the blandiSii-
ment of the so-called power trust. The
case involves a good many nice points
which the United States courts are Elk
pected to settle for all time.
