LAWS NO CURE,
FESSASSERTS
Tells City Club Greater Pro,
duction Is Sole Remedy
For Conditions.
b. D!'WIG

The unique spectacle Of a law
maker denying that legislation can
remedy modern ills was offered by
Representative Simeon ID. Fess, OF
Ohio. at the City Club luncheon yes
terday noon.
"If we Americans do not get
away from the idea that present ills
are due to lack of law. and that rem
edies are to be found in laws, we
are going 20 see dangerous times"
Fess asserted.
by admitting that theory, Ameri-
cans are justifying the opposition to
government, and never in American
history have there been so many
anti i-government organizations and
movements as now.
The only remedies for the high
cost of living lie in increased pro-
duction. efficiency and saving, and
decreased extravaganza. consump-
tion and waste" he declared. 1T is
absurd to talk about fixing the price
a man may charge for his goods.
AS long as you have more people
asking for more goods than are be-
ing produced. how are you going TO
do it?'
Passage of the soldiers bonus
law during this session was predict
ed by Fess, who stated that there
are certain elements of justice in IL
which cannot be argued

WOULD RESUME !,
GERMAN TRADE
Resolution in Senate Seek.
To Open Commercial Re-
lations With Teutons.

A resolution repeating wartime
legislation and authorizing resump-
tion OF commercial relations with
Germany was introduced in the Sen.
ate yesterday by McCumber, Of
North Dakota, Republican, as q
substitute for the peace resolution
and WIS referred to the Foreign Re.
lations Committee.
The resolution provides that cora.
mercial relations with Germany
should be resumed to the same ex-
tent and under the same limitations
as though no war has existed" II
refrained.. however. from specifical.
ly declaring a state of peace.
McCumber was one of the leader,
in the mild reservation group dur.
ing the treaty fight, and stood un-
til the last for a league of nations
There appeared a possibility that
enough mild reservationists might
join with McCumber to endanger
Senate passage of the House peace
resolution, which has heretofore
been expected.

terial al $500 or any other price.
The Farm Bureau would like to call
the attention OF the farmers to the
fact that the University OF Idaho. Bac-

lure for use OF farmers in this state
