CRY OF GAMBLERS CAMPAIGN.
LOWER TAXES TO BE THE SLOGAN
OF THE CANDIDATE.

Revenues of the state Must BE In
creased Unless the Pension or Ed
vocational Appropriations Are Re-
duced-An Honest Return of Prop
erty the Only Way in Which
Greater Revenue Can BE Secured
without Raising the Rnte-Plan of
the Commissioners of Fulton
County.
Atlanta, Feb 2-If Col. Gambler intends
TO make "lower taxes" the slogan OF MS
gubernatorial campaign, and from his let
ter of announcement and subsequent ut
terances, il seems that he does, he might
get good pointer from the County Com
missioners of Fulton county,
1t is generally conceded that there IS
little chance to reduce the expenses of
the government unless the educational
fund or the pension appropriations are
Topped off, a thing which nobody would
care to suggest.
Then the only way to lessen taxation
would be TO increase the revenues OF the
state This might be done by forcing an
honest return of property, which the COM

taken to do. They have been hammerlng
away upon plans for year and by their
efforts have put thousands of dollars into
the county treasury this year, their plan
of procedure being TO force returns OF
property that has been going unreturned
and to compel a fair return of ALL
To-day the commissioners went step
further than they have gone heretofore
and created a new Office to be known as
lax inspector. The duties of the new OF
fetal are to be to see to it that people re-
turn their property and to compare re-
turns with the property by personal IN
spection in cases where such action seems
to be necessary. The commissioners are
satisfied that the establishment of this OF
fee will result in a large increase of the
county revenues.
Capt. Furlow, who was for years con-
nected with the office of the controller
general, stated to-day that his estimate.
after careful consideration, was that the
whole property of the state is taxed at
about one-third of its market value, while
q vast amount escapes without any taxa
ton at all, and, in many cases. the taxa
ton is very unequal, some property being
taxed to its full value while other prop
erty gets off with a mere pittance as COM
pared to its real value.

SOCIAL CIRCLES BIG STEAL.
SAUNDERS SAID TO HAVE CONFESS
ED THE ROBBERY.

Detectives ShndOwinE the Prisoner
for Year-Was Under Suspicion
From the First-KnOwIedge That
He Was Hard Pressed Believed to
Have Caused, Him to Return the
MOney-Hoped That the Express
Company Would Then Let Up on
Him.
Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 2.-since the arrest of
l.. L. Saunders, the railway mail clerk.
charged with stealing $1,000 from the
Southern express car at Social Circle a
year ago, which was reported in these dis
patches last night, it is has developed that
the detectives of the express company
have been constantly shadowing Saunders
ever since the robbery was committed.
They suspected him from the first and for
over year he has never been allowed TO
get out of their sight. The officials OF the
company are very reticent about the case,
though they say that they have plenty of
evidence to convict the prisoner It is I'M
derstood that Saunders has confessed.
According to the express companys side
of the story, Saunders was not actuated
by the pricking of a guilty conscience
when he sent back the $500 of the $4,000
which he is charged with having stolen,
but it was fear of punishment, and the
hope that his act might ward off arrest
that prompted him.
The company's detectives, it is said, at
ter following him year and more going
with him to Cincinnati, where he was
transferred last. June by sthe mail ser
wee, secured sufficient evidence against
him to warrant his arrest, and that Saun-
ders knew what had been accomplished
He knew that he was under constant
surveillance and thought that by sending
back the stolen money the express COM
pany would let upon him. The company

ATKINSON NOT LIKELY TO ENTER.
The Governor Would support the
Judge If He Should Run.

Judge II He ShOulu run.
Atlanta, Ca, Feb 2.-The talk about
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson and the pos
sibility of his candidacy for the COVER
norship has been the most interesting
topic In political way at the capitol to-
day.
The local morning paper made a sensa-
ton out of the meeting of the South
Georgia friends of Judge Atkinson at the
Kimball House yesterday. 1t was made
to appear that this friendly little gath
ering was a preconcerted conference be-
tween Judge Atkinson's supporters for the
purpose of deciding whether or not to put
him in the race. 1t was stated that Gov.
Atkinson was present at the conference"
and the inference was drawn that he was
using all his influence to get the Bruins
wick man into the contest, assuring him
of the hearty support or the administra-
ton.
AS a matter of fact Gov. Atkinson was
nowhere near the Kimball House yester-
day and the first news of the alleged con-
ference he had was in the papers to-day
He is nevertheless a good friend of Judge
Atkinson, and if be should happen to
make the race would doubtless get his
support. His appointment to a place on
the Railroad Commission shows what the
Governor thinks of him.
Attorney General Terrell was also given
credit for being present at the confer
ence, when in fact he had nothing to do
with it, the meeting being simply a little
gathering of gentlemen from the Eleventh
district, as stated in these dispatches.
Some of Judge Atkinson's friends good
naturedly suggested to-day that if there
had been conference to put him in the
Gubernatorial race, it would have been
well If some of the other districts besides
the Eleventh had been represented. as one
district could hardly elect the governor.
however unanimous it might be for him.
Judge Atkinson has little or nothing to
say about the matter himself He de-
clares that he is not candidate for Gov
ernor, and in fact is not seriously consid-
ering such step, although some of his
partial friends have been urging him to
make the race Among state house Off
Gals the prevailing opinion is that Judge
Atkinson will not become a candidate.
