May Use TrailcrS.

The solution of this problem is
traiers. and trailers are becoming
more and more in use daily. In fact,
trailers are the solution of the prob
lem of cheap freight haulage. and
trailers properly designed are not
any more detrimental upon a truck
than a poorly concentrated load upon
the same truck of normal capacity.
For example. there are trucks in Mon
treal which carry as high as II l-2
tons and others that carry from 10
TO 10 II tons, and yet where judi
Ciously used the wear and tear and
effect upon tires do not seem to be
out of proportion to the services rem
dered BY using trailer system and
providing roads and bridges which
are adequate to the service. and by
instituting facilities for loading
and unloading quickly and in cities
putting in concentrated loading and
uloading points to which and from
which heavy and light trucks can
carry their loads and leave them at "a
place where they can be slid on to
heavy. transfer trailer trains which
could take them directly to the river
in the least possible time at a mini
mum expense. seems to me to be a
long step in the right direction.
The use of the truck in Oregon
has. and is. being demontrated in
Central Oregon and while they have
not been altogether a success from a
financial standpoint. the efficiency of
the motor trucks has been demon
strated when a properly worked out
system is installed
cheaper Than Rail.
There are many instances where
trucks are used for hauls formerly
covered by railroads at a cost much
lower than the railroad transporta-
! tion. One of these is in Fall River.

SCHOOL NE VS..

The teachers meeting of last
Saturday, the 18th, was well at
tended and unusually interesting,
This is usually the last meeting Of
the year, and all present seemed to
be trying to atone for this vacation
the Benton roads force upon us, by
giving all in their power to the
good of the meeting. No one said,
81 am not prepared" but discussed
each subject sensibly, and every
minute of the session was profitable.
The discussions on Glow | may
best grow as teacher this winter"
were entered into by all teachers
and proved conclusively that not
many Benton teachers mean to
"moss over" when to their own re-
sources to advance.
Benton be Justly proud of one of
the most progressive teaching
forces in the State. This does not
mean that every one in the profess
sion is awake but that the dreamy
ones are too scarce to mention. To
be convinced of this, we have only
to visit other teacher bodies and
then come home and be in one of
our own meetings, as the writer
has recently done.
Many of the teachers were heard
to say Saturday, 81 have twice as
many pupils in my school as had
last year." This is a great step
advanced in our schools, for no
teacher can help a student much,
who attends only few days, and
it means, too, that many of the
children who were having their
birthrights snatched from them
by having to grow up without
euen knowing how to read, are
now getting the benefit of their
part of the school funds.
This means also that majority
Of the citizens of the county are
men and are doing their duty to-
ward the recently enacted compul-
sorry school law-the best of all
school laws, the protector of the
poor child with unconcerned par
ents and the assurance that there
will be someone to teach when the
money is spent for teaching.
However, Superintendent Har-
din announced with regret last
Saturday that few and possibly a
good many would probably have
to be dealt with at once by the
county officials for failure to send
to school. He will possibly write
fuller account of what this law
is now doing for the schools when
he completes round he is now
making among the schools,
Any county's educational sys-
tenn is safe when pupils, parents
and teachers and superintendent
are interested in the sound growth
of the youth.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 81, 1913
HOW ABOUT 1T?

after more than thirty years not to
run any more articles under as
sumed names? -Citizen.
We can better explain our posi-
ton by stating such policy has
never had our approval. When
we assumed editorial control of
the Benton County Enterprise in
1889 the policy was in vogue, and
articles of this nature were offered
from time to time, and we found it
was expected of us to continue it.
We do not approve of it because
of the prevailing opinion that it is
unfair to the public and unjust to
the publisher. It is true we have
never permitted unreliable and un-
scrupulous men to use our columns
or to take undue advantage, but we
know that such articles carry little
weight with them. All first-class
newspapers are cutting it out.
Like Ham Patterson, we believe
when you fully realize you are
wrong, it is your duty to get right.
AS most everyone knows a news
paper is not held responsible for
an article written under an as.
sumed name.-Citizen.
We think you are wrong in this
conclusion. At least we are "from
Missouri" and ask you to cite us
and also explain who is responsible
in such cases.
For the sake Of argument, we'll
admit your statement is correct.
Is the publisher justified in &C
cepting such articles? We have
learned in recent years that the
public usually concludes that the
publisher is in sympathy with or
at least endorses the sentiment of
such articles, hence it may not be
commendable in every instance.
Then where are you going to draw
the line?
These are our reasons for con-
Guiding that the fellow who hasn't
the moral courage to publish his
name with his article will find in
the future that the columns OF The
Chronicle are "overcrowded."
It is more than likely, neighbor,
there are few bright lights who
will not give us credit for writing
this article. A mans enemies sell
dom give him credit for any good
thing, and denounce him when he
champions the cause of the right.
Funny, isn't it? AS you are not
credited with the article which
calls for this reply, our advise is,
nav no attention to it; you'll soon
get used to it.
If you want to discuss live issues
on a high plane of journalism,
