Lincoln, Feb. 22. (Special.) Railway Commissioner Yictor Wil son would send a. man out to buy corn and charge the expense of the trip to the man from whom the corn was bought, according to his argu ment before the corporations commit. tec on House Roll No. 777, a bill he had fathered to compel the corpora tions to pay all expenses of an in vestigation made by the commissioner ol the sain corporation. Mr. Wilson referred to the rail roads as unfair and trying to put something over on the people all Jhe tune. Byron Clark of the Burlington asked Mr. Wilson the question: "Suppose information came to you that the Burlington needed investiga tion and you sent your investigators to make an examination ot our books. and after such examination had been made you discovered that the charges were untounded, and no investigation was needed, would you still hold that we had to pay the expense of that investigation: "I would." answered Mr. Wilson "Has the Burlington Railroad com nanv ever refused to eive the com mission every information needed and has it ever retused to assist the com mission in any investigation made? asked Mr. Clark. "I don't know that it has," replied Mr. Wilson. At the good roads hearing before the roads committee ot the House both sides became violent in their as sertions against the other and re marks of the most radical kind were made. One side gave the farmers a scoring and then the farmers gave the town foks a scoring. 1'. A. Wells from Omaha insisted that the criticism of the federal government by the opponents to the bill was disloyalty at a time when the government was facing a crisis. This broucht out a protest from Charles Wooster, who appeared for the antis and from one or two others. Mr. Wooster in his arguments clos ing the debate for the opponents of the bill said the roads ot KeDraska were good enough except ' in the spring, and as the farmers at that time were all busy in the fields he didn't care how bad the roads were as they had no use for them at that time.
