DCOh hClC uil thC tlHit. Senator Sutherland not only collect ed mileage at the last session of the Legislature for his trip from Ruby to Juneau, which he made. but he collected $23S.2O as mileage from Juneau to Ruby for a trip that he did not make, and has not made.
 The Case of MT. AIdrich
 But at that Senator Sutherland is piker when compared with Senator Aldrich Senator Aldrich was elect ed Territorial Senator from the Sec ond Division, in 1914, and came from Nome to Juneau to attend the Legis lative session of 1915. He did not return to Nome after the session, but became a resident of Juneau. He has not seen his Second Divis- ion since a few days after that cleo tiOn But he has always been on hand when the mileage money was being distributed. At the 1915 ses- sion of the Legislature he not only collected the mileage for the trip from Nome to Juneau, which he made, but he collected $54S40 for mileage for the trip back to Nome which he did not make.
 But that is not all.
 Senator Aldrich remained at Ju neau from 1915 until 1917. He never returned to Nome. But the record shows that at the 1917 Legislature this Territorial Senator who is jeal ous of the public funds, collected mileage from Nome to Juneau and from Juneau to Nome-$S12.25- for round trip that was never made He was in Juneau all the time. In other words Senator Sutherland has collected $238.20 and Senator Aldrich $1,36O.65 in mileage for trips that they never made.
 The charge is not made that they had no legal right to claim this money-that Is matter for others to decide-but it was for trips that | were never made, for expenses thai | were not created, for something tha | was not.
 It is not charged that Attorney General Grigsby did not make the trips for which he charged expenses It is not charged that his expense accounts were not legally created Two of the trips were authorized bl Gov Strong and one by Gov. Riggs and all are presumed to have beer on account of public businesS-ant were.
 l Yet Senator Sutherland and Sena tor Aldrich think Mir Grigsby's trip should not have been at the public expense. They have said so in thu Dispatch.
 But these trips for which Senator Aldrich and Senator Sutherland col Iected mileage were not made at all
 But This Is Not All But this is not all Former Sena tor Aldrich has not been above cam paigning while his expenses were be ing paid for by the public Last March and April he was very active in various parts of the First Divis ion in behalf of the effort of thf Wickites to capture the Democratic party. He visited many portions ot the Division, distributing the Boob, the campaign sheet issued by the present editor of the Dispatch to put Delegate Sulzer out of business, and other Maloney campaign literature and spending time electioneering witl | the voters. He was ostensibly tray cling in his official capacity of Game Warden for Alaska, a position he held by the grace of Gov. Strong On this campaign tour-at least semi campaign tour-Senator Aldrich wis ited Ketchikan, Sitka, and other points. The records show that he put in an expense account for them and was paid in March and April $18342 He was more active in April, as the primary election drew near and the contest grew warmer so his expense account for that month was greater than for March s10S.67 as against STATS for the previous month.
