Under. the action Of the House Dis
trict Committee empowering Chair

cife sum to provide for garbage dis

The expectations of the A. E. F..
that the Fourth Liberty Loan will be
subscribed in as full and hearty fash

preceded it Is voiced In the following
statement by General Pershing. cabled
to the Chief of Staff at Washington
to be given to the American people:
1.-The men of the A. E. F. expect
that the Fourth Liberty Loan will be
subscribed.
I'm the camps and villages "
France we have been training and
preparing these many months for the
supreme test. In the ports and along
the roads that reach from the sea to
the battle front we have been organ
izing, constructing, achieving.
I'VE have toiled cheerfully against
the day of battle and the spirit that
has urged us on through the discom-
forts and drudgery of the winter, in
muddy fields and sodden trench, in
storm-swept port. in rain and sun
shine, has been the determination to
be worthy of those whom we left be-
hind when we crossed the sea. BY the
side of the Allied veterans Of the four
years conflict we have made be-
ginning as proof OF what we hope
to accomplish.
1.-THE news Of America awake. OF
the national spirit more strong, more
unified, more determined day by day,
thrills us all. We have a thousand
proofs that our people are behind US.
The past successful loans. the fleets
that are being launched, the voluntary
economies willingly undergone for the
cause Of the worlds freedom make US
proud that we represent you.
THE American spirit Of liberty and
freedom urges US to continue until
the end. 1t is the knowledge Of that
spirit that makes us certain that our
people at home will stand behind US
as they have done from the beginning
so that we may return soon to you,
the victory won.

Territorial Senator from the Second
Division, in 1914, and came from Nome
to Juneau to attend the Legislature
session of 1915. He did not return
to Nome after the session, but be.
came resident of Juneau. He has
not seen his Second Division since
a few days after that election. But
he has always been on hand when
the mileage money was being distrib.
uted. At the 1915 session of the Leg
islature he not only collected the
mileage for the trip from Nome to
Juneau, which he made, but he col.
lected $54S.40 for mileage for the trip
back to Nome which he did not make.
But that is not all.
Senator Aldrich remained at Juneau
from 1915 until 1917. He never re-
turned to Nome. But the record shows
that at the 1917 Legislature, this Ter.
ritorial Senator who is jealous of
the public funds, collected mileage
from Nome to Juneau and from Jun.
eau to Nome-$S12.25-for a round
trip that was never made. He was
in Juneau all the time.
In other words Senator Sutherland
has collected $238.2O and Senator
Aldrich $1,360.65 in mileage for trips
that they never made.
The charge is not made that they
had no legal right to claim this mon
ey-that is matter for others to de-
cide-but it was for trips that were
never made, for expenses that were
not created, for something that was
not.
1t is not charged that Attorney Gen.
eral Grigsby did not make the trips
for which he charged expenses. 1t is
not charged that his expense accounts
were not legally created. Two of the
trips were authorized by Gov. Strong
and one by Gov. Riggs, and all are
presumed to have been on account of
public business and were.
Yet Senator Sutherland and Sena-
to Aldrich think Mr.. Grigsby's trips
should not have been at the public
expense. They have said so in the
Dispatch.
But these trips for which Senator
Aldrich and Senator Sutherland col
lected mileage were not made at all.
But This is Not All

tor Aldrich has not been above cam

PEEvED SOLONS

UNMADE TRIPS

The Dispatch and Senator Dan A.
Sutherland and former Senator Frank
A. Aldrich are very much peeved be-
cause Attorney General George B.
Grigsby has made several trips at
Territorial expense since he came
into once. They allege that his ex.
penses were paid by the Territory
when he was not on official tours.
The charge against Mr.. Grigsby is
not true. but that is aside from the
point of this story.
Records at the Governors Office
show that former Senators Aldrich
and Sutherland like public money

title to 1t whether they earn 1t or
not. They claim that Mr.. Grigsby
was paid for trips that should not have
been made. but they were paid for
trips that were not made at all.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
Senator Dan Sutherland was elect
ed In 1916 to the Territorial Senate
from the Fourth Division. and came
from Ruby to attend the session Of
the Legislature In 1917. Since that
time he has made his homo in Jun.
