"C.mtin;ttible Lylny."
Under the above heading in the Ore
gon City Enterprise Senator Porter re
ferred to his having received p iv for
uiort mileage than Senator Brownell.
As wus to he expected the Honorable
Senator denied the charge, but in bin
denial he makes some misstatements,
of course it is merely an error, the Sena
tor would not he guilty of anything con
temptible or malicious.
There is no public reports of the ex
penses of the legislature, but on pate 0
of the Daily Oregouiun of October 20,
1898, app-iirs a complete lint of all the
senators ami representatives togiither
with the mileage and amount allowed.
In Iliac report Sjnator Brownell is
cruJited with 70 miles and allowed
$70.60; Senator Porter is credited with
70 miles and allowed $71.40. Tho total
number' of miles claimed -iul the total
amount allowed also appears. The om
plelenesH of the article stamps it as re
liable. In Suitor I'orlert't article he states:
"I Ills I no claim fur mileage and drew
but 70:50." As is well known the snu
ators aero allowed $3 per day for the 20
days of I he session and 15 cents per
mile traveled as mileage. The Senator
having drawn, according to his own ad
mission, $10 50 more than his own
salary mint have died a claim for mile
age. Mm memory has probably failed
him oniiu to his efforts to secure a
clerkship for a resident of Multnomah
