Total assessment. .............. sla7

Such figures are ridiculous Although IL is
Impossible TO set direct valuation on The prom
erty' no nefson with knowledge OF the silua
ton could reasonably assess it at less than
$1,000 per acre. Thus The Waterfront Com
panys direct propery should ngure as S4.-
l45,ooo Instead Of S1l9,290, as on LeckIes
rolls.
IL Is not alone the railroad that makes such
showing. 1he water company and In fact all
the oiher big corporations are equally we'll
protected, and the laying bare OF this condition
OF affairs is creating much talk.
The Office of Assessor of Alameda County is
lat one anyhow Under the workings OF the
county government act, passed by the last
Legislature, the place is worth over $4,000 a
year 10 the incumbent. just how much over il
Is hard 10 say, but IL is certain the sum IS a
pretty round one, for there are fees galore and
no opportunity is allowed to pass uunoticed
Ihe people OF Alameda County, therefore
think that with such a pTincely salary attached
10 Inc 0f1ce they ought at least TO get the best
or service. Ii Is true that the corporations are
satisfied, but the rank and file OF the taxpayers
are proportlonately not, for every dollar OF tax
atlon tDat tile corporations escape has 10 come
fiom he pockets of the people, as the expenses
OF tie county must be met anyhow.
Aud thus IL is that the Alamedans are probing
INTO ihe aHalrs OF the Assessors office nd are
bringing 10 light these ugly facts. facts that,
Banquo ike. VIII not down, des' ite all the ef-
forts OF those interested IN keeping them
secret. And the taxpayers are asking why The
southern Pacific ana other Kindred orgauIZa-
tOns should not bear their full share OF taxa
hon. They see no reason why The Assessor
should be blind where millions are coDcerne ed
ana aTgus-eyed where plain citizens property
Is at stake.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars that
nave been lost by these unequal assessments are
oi course, unobtainable now, but in the future
dlton OF affairs which prevails now will not be
permitted again.

ASSESSOR LECKIE.
An Investigation into the Affairs of
His Office.

OAKLAND.-Robert S. Leckie, the AS
SCISSOR of Alameda County. is in trouble.
The fact that he is eDdeaVoring to secure
denomination at the Republican County
convention has resulted in an investigs-
tion of the workings of his office and some
interesting facts are being brought to light
Statistics show that during the four
years of Leckie's administration $500, COO
in taxes has been lost 10 the city and
county, al! the burden Of which has of
course fallen on the small property
owners.
1t is significant. too, that the big cor
poratiOns have gained where the people
have lost by Leckie's method of assess
ment, and an inspection of the records is,
to say the least, interesting.

HOME AGAIN.
The Marietta Rifles Have
Returned.
They BORE Off MANY HON ORS,
They Had Royal Time, Coupled With
Good Deal of Military Work
and Discipline.

The Marietta Rifles returned last Thurs.
day from their tour of duty at Camp
Northen, Griffin, Ga.
When they tumbled out of their special
car, clad in their campaign uniforms, con.
sisting OF grey jeans pants, grey flannel
shirt, kuapsack, haversack, csnteen, broad
brimmed sombrero and large amount of
Griffin dust, they recalled old times to the

They were in, what is known in military
parlanee, heavy marching order and we're
in shape to 60 right into service.
The boys report good time although
the work was heavy. The Encampment OF
this year was organized on different basis
from any previous one. 1t was not frolic
or lark, but was organized for business
and work and practical instruction in the
art of war. Heretofore things have Lot
been thus and this has been urged very
effectively against them, but those days
are over. The military officials of the
state have awoke to tie realization that
the greatest bulwark against lawlessness in
all It's forms is q well organized, equipped
snd Instructed militia. And they have set
10 work with that idea in their minds to
accomplish this.
They have secured the appointment of
Lieut. Chas. B. Sstterlee, q. S. A, as in-
spector from the War Department OF the
forces of tbs State Under his guidance
things are rapidly assuming tangible
shape and the day is fast coming when
Georgia will have the best organized mill
Tia OF any State in the South. There is
but one thing il the way and that is a
sufficient appropriation by the Legislature.
The present appropriation is SO small that
not even all the enlisted men of the State
can be given ten days course Of practical

The 9th Regimen under the COM
mand OF Col. John S. Gambler, is composed
of all the Atlanta companies, together with
Marietta, LAGRANGE, GAINESVILLE and New :
uen companies.
1t is the youngest in organization of any
regiment in the State, yet it has already
taken the lead and bid fair to be the best
organized and equipped regiment in the
State. The 9Th alone has Machine Gun
attached to it. This gun is under the
charge of Lieut.. Chas. r. Plyer and a
platoon OF men and in itself is regular
army. 1t shoots 1900 times in one minute
and is so arranged as to give it play in
any desired direction.
Our company is the youngest in the
regiment, not being more than four months
old, yet it was conceded to be one of the
best, if not the best company in the regi
Tments, some of the companies being many
years old.
They came into existence with running
start and seem never to have lost it. They
beat the record on getting into the State

has been the toast OF the whole regiment
and the pride of the officers.
When they went to Camp ten days ago,
they went as the youngest company in the
two regiments there. Already known to
the 9TH they soon attracted the notice OF
tie other regiment and Of the officers, and
when they left Camp they left with the
distinction of being the crack company on
the Post. During the Encampment all
the companies we're inspected by Lieut..
Satterlee, Assistant Irspector-General OF
the State, and after inspecting the Marietta
Rifles he said that they had stood tie finest
