A LEGAL OPINION THAT
HAS WEIGHT AND VALUE.
Attorney Leslie L. Hubbard,
The little giant OF the San juan
has just rendered an opinion that
Will 30 down in history as one OF
the most remarkable and weighty
legal documents that ever emanat.
ed from the brain OF man. The
opinion, 80 able and clear, will not
only be OF great benefit to the
struggling and proiit-ridden people
OF this state, but 10 the people
similarly situated over the United
States. Demands are being re-
ceiyed 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 +. Shafroth, as a
subsidiary organization to the ad-
yancement 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 profitesr-
ing must stop!'
In these ringing words the at.
torney general opens his opinion
which covers 92 closely typed 10.
gal sized pages. Leslie, on hear
ing the complaints, at once detect.
ed the hands OF the food trust, the
smeltef trust, the coal trust, the
steel trust, the beet trust, the al
,falfa trust. the coal oil trust, the
fpeanut trust, the eultiyator 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 In 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, to de-
prive the American people OF the
nutriment to which they are hon
estly entitled from cheese.
$50 important is the document
it is now being printed to 80 out
in pamphlet form 10 the voters Of
the state providing Leslie can find
some way to make the state pay
all the costs. It Las been printed
in full in the Denver Post, made
attractive to the eye Of the reader
by four separate and distinct pic
lures Of Les taken In four separ-
ate and distinct attitudes. The
opinion with much addenda and
supplementary information, to-
gether with suggestions how to
act, has already been mailed Pres
ident wilson"
OH, YES, THERE ARE JUST
TWO MORE TO BE MENTIONED.
Just as the press agent is ready |
have the stenographer make hui
dred carbon copies so that no DEM
cratic editor may be overlooked, he r.
calls he has not mentioned the name
Of either Governor Gunter or Trea
urer Higgins, so back to the machln
he goes. He does not look out OF tn
window this time. No inspiration
necessary. These are dashed off |
a hurry: -
Governor Gunter spoke at Las
Animas one night last week. A.
large crowd was present. The
music furnished by the band from
the naval hospital at Fort Lyons
was especially enjoyed .
Treasurer Bob Higgins has
counted the states cash. He
found 1t was all there"
Now that you know just how IN
Ftuff is made you will gain much val
able information when reading it.
