B. p. Waggener's Remarks.
! The last speaker was Bale P. Wag-
gener. In part, he said:
! Is the present attack upon railroad
/ companies right and Just? If it is, then
every man, be he Republican, Democrat
or Populist-as a business proposition,

in his last message to congress, treats
! the great subject of railway legislation
as a pure and simple business PROPOSE
/ ton and, if I read his message correctly,
! and place a proper construction upon his
official acts, his great desire is to with
draw the question from the domain of
politics, and give the railroad companies
/ a square deal"
| The records of the state auditor will
show that. for 1905. the assessed valua-
/ ton of railroad property was $50, 721, $50;
1 of all other personal property the sum of
I S69, 290.2S9; of all real estate the sum Of
! S251. 000 900. The amount of tax paid by
4 the railroad companies for 1905 exceeded
/ the sum of s., 100, 900. The last report of

closes the fact that the gross receipts

ing paid to employees alone.

receipts of railroad companies with
which to pay interest on their bonds and
dividend on their stock is less than $1s.-

directly or indirectly, by the common
and cooperation Of the railroads have
/ added more than so per cent to the
value of Kansas products.
The legislature of 1905 enacted and
/ put in force more drastic law than
can be found upon any statute book
of any state in the union-a law which.
to all intents and purposes, turns over

with power and Jurisdiction to fix and
