Railroad Man
Expresses Views
on Public Issues
Bailey waggensr Talks Freely About
Politics, Men and Events from
Democratic Point.

General Counsel Bailey p. Waggener OF
the Missouri Pacific railroad and former
democratic leader in Kansas was in
Omaha Friday and said that he favors
Roosevelt for the next president OF the
United States and would ike 10 see Bryan
In the senate. Now that he has retired
from active politics. he thinks that the
railroads should keep out OF politics and
that the railroads and people should set
together for mutual ihtcrests
Il am inclined to think" said Mr. Wag-
gener. that would like to vote for
Roosevelt for our next president He's the
biggest man this country ever produced
and when he stepped into the Whlse House
he was the right man in the night place.
Things had come to such a pass that cap
ital was getting too important and a man
like Roosevelt was needed to put & check
to il. He only asked for law enforcement
and / don't reminder OF ever hearing a
railroad man say anything serious in op-
position 10 Mr.. Roosevelt.
Bran ought to be In the United States
senate. and hope that he win run for the
place. Hes an able orator. debater. and
in many respects a Statesman. and it
would be an honor to Nebraska to have q
man ike Bryan in the senate. 1 hope
he runs"
Speaking Of the position OF railroads with
regard to politics. he said; 4 think that
railroads should keep ont Of politics It's
true that their interests in the past have
been on the defensive. but the people and
the raj roads ought to get nearer together.
Each needs the other. and what helps one
ultimately helps the other. II the rail-
roads would keep out Of politics the feel
ing that they are back OF every candidate
Tor office would soon die out. The people
are. at the bottom, fair. and II given a
chance they viii act fairly so I think the
railroads would gain in the end II they
would keep entirely out Of politics."

SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN
u II Could Be Capitalized Its Product
Would Pay Bigger Dividends
Than Railroads.

II is claimed that the average pro
duction Of q hen Is 200 eggs per an
mum, but II n safe 10 assume that the
actual is much below this figure, the
Wall Street Journal says. AdoptinT
the very conservative figure of 100
eggs per hen per annum, we find on
the above basis Of production there
are l50,000,000 laying hens in the
United States responsible for the pro
duetion of 1S,O00,Q00 600 eggs.
At the farm price of 20 cents per
dozen the total income derived from
each hen annually would amount to
two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for
maintenance and ten cents for de-
probation, which latter would wipe
out the market value of the hen In
four years, irrespective OF salvage
when the period ol production is over,
the net profit per hen per annuD
amounts to $1.5O.
This profit, according to Wall street
standards, capitalized on q five per
cent. income basis, would place a
nominal value of $50 on each hen. For
the 150,000,000 hens this would amount
to the enormous total Of $4,000, 100000
That the American hen can return
yield st iive per cent. per annum on
capitalization of $4,50O,0O0,0OO ap-
pears nothing short of remarkable
but such is the case The entire out
standing capital obligations of the rail
roads of the United States in 1897
were less. than four times this amount
or s1e,Os2.i46,BSS. while the total paid
out In interest and dividends repre-
sented but 4.O5 per cent. of this
amount.
