Legitimate business has the assurance of Pres ident Coolidge that his administra tion will not interfere with its ac tivities so Ions as they were con ducting on true business lines and Kept within legitimate bounds. In an address last night before the New York state chamber of commerce, the executive advocated the large possible independence between government and business and emphasized that the whole policy of the government in its system of opposition -to monopoly, and its public regulation of trans portation and trade has been ani mated by a desire to have business remain business. "The present generation of busi ness," he added, "almost univer sally throughout la responsible organization and management, has shown every disposition to correct Its own abuses with as little inter Tentlon of the government aa pos sible. "Proper regulation and control are disagreeable and expensive. They represent the suffering that the just must endure because of the unjust. They aro a part of the prlco which must be paid io promote' the cause of economic Justice.' During the address, which was Interrupted by frequent bursts of applause, the president pointed out that the government was render ing a service in suggesting elimi nation of waste In industry; advo cated continued effort for economy and efficiency; expressed opposi tion to loans to foreign nations for Use In maintaining big arm lea and navies Ind appealed for support for the world court proposal.

California and Stanford will settle a football feud of 33 years' eta tid ing tomorrow when they meet at Palo Alto in their annual classic the "big game." Robbed somewhat of its glamor by the advent of Washingon, whose powerful eleven eliminated both the Bears and Stanford's Cardinals from the Pacific .coast conference,, tlia contest neverthe less promises to he the outstand ing gridiron attraction of the rnr west. The teams are evenly matched this year and straight money was being quoted today. The seating capacity of Stanford stadium will be taxed to the l it as all tickets, numbering approx imately 76,000, were sold more than a month ago. Another game attracting wide spread interest Is the intersection- al clash at Lob Angeles of Iowa and the University of Southern California. The fact that Coach Howard Jones of the University of Southern California was mentor at Iowa before coming to the Pa cific coast, added zest to the en counter. Other conference games, besides the Bear-Cardinal title, brings to gether Idaho and the Oregon Ag gies at Boiee. Washington State college and Gonzaga meet at Spokane in a Pa cific northwest conference game. Washington, whose champion ship claims to the coast conference title is disputed only by Oregon, meets the College of Puget Sound at Tacoran. The game is expected only to be a warming up affair for the Huskies.

The annual Marion county corn show, the new Miles Linen mill and the state flax plant at the penitentiary were visited today by approximately oo I'oruana business men and captains of fin ance who came here on a junket visitation. Early in the day Sa lem business leaders were visited at stores, hanks and other busi ness houses, and the day reached its climax at a luncheon at the Salem Chamber of Commerce at noon. That the up-state people of Ore gon are unjustly jealous of Port land was the assertion of State Treasurer T, B. Kay, who wel comed the Portlanders at the chamber of commerce. This, how ever, is a universal condition, he said, since country people are usu ally jealous of the cities, and he saw value In junket excursions in that they would serve to elimin ate such a condition. Mr. Kay cited facts to prove that Portland is - extremely friendly toward the rest of the state. As a member of the leg islature he said he had never known Portland members to op pose ample appropriation for the state institutions in Salem. Al though Multnomah county ceived no direct benefit from state funds expended on the high way system he recalled that Port land lawmakers supported the highway movement to a man not withstanding Multnomah county pays 35 per cent ot the state's taxes, and credit for the Oregon highway system, which he said was tho best in the united states population and wealth consider- Mr. Kay gave to Multnomah county. That Portland furnishes a mar kct- for up-state products, that Portland legislators have never joined the agitation to move the capital to Salem, that the whole state benefits from Portland's $300,000 development I un d, Portland's good will in financing flax pulling machines for Willum ette valley farmers were other things mentioned by Mr. Kay as Illustrating Portland's gener osity. . - "I want to advise the Portland Chamber of Commerce, however,'' said Mr. Kay, "that they should give more attention to bringing new industries Into the state so that men and women who come here may be employed the year round rather than urging further development of the agircultural and horticultural Industries which are already over-developed; con sidering our population. This in itself would largely solve the farmer's problem. We need sev eral cities as big as Portland and Portland ought to have a million people.'' Jack Bales, president ot the membership forum of the Port land Chamber of Comcrce, and chairman of the junket, respond ed to Kay's address of welcome. The Portlanders came he said for good will and information, and were sincerely Interested, in the development of the state B. F.

HIT BY RULES OF Washington, Nov. 20 (AP) Residents of towns on the Mexi can border have found themselves in a peculiar position, since mere ly walking across some Bireeis constitutes a violation of the fed eral immigration laws. Small settlements on the bord er that have for years considered themselves a unit, although parts of them extend on both sides oi the international line, are be wildered over the strict enforce ment of law that prevents a res! dent ot one section from crossing the street to trade at a store or call on a friend. Until recently, Immigration off! clals have allowed a reasonable Interchange across the line but now they are enforcing the law to the letter, and a Mexican, to cross the street.

Queen Mother Alexandra. widew of King Edward VII and mother of King George V, died late this afternoon at Sandingham house. The Prince of Walea and the Duke of York wero due to arrive at Wolferton, near Sandringham by ' train at 5:29 o'clock but tho train was 1C minutes late. The King's sons were escorted to the royal waiting room of tho Wolfer ton station, where the station m.'iB ter broke the news of their grand mother's death. Grief Is Wltlufolt Queen Alexandra passed to rest amid the peaceful rural surround ings which she loved so well. Since Thursday morning, when the due- tors' announcement made it patent that the aged queen was In a crit ical condition, the hamlet ot Sand ringham and Its tiny neighbors, Wolferton and Deraingham, which claimed her for their very own, had waited heavy hearted for the end. Throughout the long hours lit 1 1 o groups lingered, wet eyed, at the portals of ttie royal residence, hop ing against hope for some word that their beloved mlMrcss would survive. Was Nearly 81 Within a fow days (December 1 the queen mother would have cele brated the 81st anniversary of her birth and all the inhabitants had been preparing in elaborate fash ion to celebrate the ovent at San- dringham house.

Even to tho people of Siuidilnp ham, who knew the trnllty of their queen, news of the menacing heart attack came as a surprise. Only on Wednesday she was out driving as was her cutttom nnd a few days ago it was authoritlvely stnted that she was In better health than for acme time pant. So the new of tho previous heart attack early Thurs day morning came us a stunning blow. The queen and king, Prince Hen ri', Princess Victoria nnd Queen Aland of Norway (Alexandra's third daughter) wero nlready at SandinKham nt one of their cuato mnry vbdts , The family gathering had not been prearranged ns there seemed to be no cause for special anxiety about the condition of the queen mother. King George was the hoet of shooting party when news of the attack reached him and he rush ed to bis mother's bedsido. The king stayed with his mother as long on the doctors thought ad- vlnhlo The physicians nnd nurs es remained In constant attendance. Last evening the son again visited the queon mother. At that time word was given out that there had been no change and that the queen wan resting peacefully but the watchers learned the ominous ad ditional fact that arrangments had been made to summon the king at any hour during tho night. All through tho trying hours of darkness thoro was keenest nnxlcty among the people of the district, alt of whom knew the aged widow of Kdwnrd VII almost ns one of their own family.
