A LEGAL OPINION THAT
HAS WEIGHT AND VALUE,

A LEGAL OPINION THAT
HAS WEIGHT AND VALUE.
Attorney Leslie Il. Hubbard.
the little giant OF the San JUAN
has just rendered an opinion that
will so down In history as one Of
the most remarkable and weighty
legal documents that ever emanat.
ed from the brain OF man. The
opinion, SO able and clear, will not
only be Of great benefit 10 the
struggling and profit-ridden people
OF this state. but to the people
similarly situated over the United
States. Demands are being re-
ceived by wire to have 1t translat.
ed that the people OF Europe, Asia
and Africa may also be benefited.
Complaints have been coming
to the attorney generals office
from all over the state. but more
particularly from the Consumers'
league. a union OF citizens headed
by Hon. John f. Shafroth, as a
subsidiary organization to the ad-
vancement OF his senatorial aspir-
ations. that on buying American
falsely.labeled Swiss cheese, In.
stead Of securing perfectly solid
pieces they have been given slices
In which were found great holes,
at times not less than a half inch
In diameter.
This character of profiteer.
Ing must stop!'
IN these ringing words the at
torney general opens his opinion
which covers 92 closely typed le-
gal sized pages. Leslie, on hear
Ing the complaints. at once detect
cd the hands Of the food trust, the
smelter trust. the coal trust, the
steel trust, the beet trust, the al
falfa trust, the coal oil trust. the
peanut trust, the cultivator trust
and the shoe.string trust. In this
vicious practice, and the trail fol-
lowed up by the ever alert Leslie
led him to the very door Of the
war council, the chairman of
which is the owner OF a number OF
flour mills.
THE Hubbard opinion which
Will, In the future. compel all
makers and dealers I'm cheese to
plug the holes with sawdust, is
legally able and morally correct.
The people Of Colorado should
recognize the fact that their rights
are always being protected by
Les. There is a proper ring OF
sincerity to this opinion. 1t will
open the eyes OF the people OF this
state and nation to the character
OF German work going on with the
aid Of the trusts mentioned, 10 de-
prive the American people OF the
nutriment TO which they are hon
estly entitled from cheese.
