FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1920. THE CAPITAL JOURNAL DOG FANCIERS OF -: jn Salem are at least going have "fi6ltir,S chance," accord to the purposes of a gathering 5 friends of "man's best friend on rtl, - at the Bligh hotel last night. The general purpose of the meet- . ' " to concentrate action in the Lament of city ordinances which r, claim are inhumane and. m ZCary in principle. For the pur STof conferring with city officials LWlng these changes to the ex tir city statutes, the following was appointed: Mrs. Fred 6 Btwart, II. I- Trover, Louis Lach miind. Mrs. Carrie Fowle and Lot L. '""jlW Setlon made a plea for the doe emphasizing the fact the city statutes as they now stand, tend .to inbject dogs to inhumane conditions ,n4 that such laws will ultimately deprive dog lovers of their friends, or will drive desirable residents from ""ourins tho gathering at which nearly 100 persons were in attend ance it was pointed out that dog oners In this city are subject to five, separate und conflicting state nd civic statutes. Th following memorial, indictive of the purpose of the gathering was unanimously adopted "and recom mended for publication: "The undersigned citizens of Ore son at a called meeting at Salem, February 19, 1920, would respectful ly represent that they are voters and taxpayers, and believe that dog own era and" dogs from times immemorial have had certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by city t-f-Jinances and nets of the legislature so long as we are living under a con stitution, and that those rights have been set aside and nullified by acts that are both cruel and inhuman and will if not repealed, cause great rang and injury to our property, and if certain features of these vi cious laws are enforced will endanger the lives and safety of people and do mestic animals by causing dogs to become mad during tho coming sum mer and spread rabies umon.g cat tle and other animals. We would re spectfully set forth following facts and recommendations: L There are a number of city ordi nances of drastic character that in their practical operation virtually make it Impossible for anyone to. keep a dog in this city in a humane and sanitary manner. Dogs in Salem must be kept chained in virtual slav ery or led on a leash as is only custo mary in an aristnrcatlc country where only the rich who can employ serv ants can keep a dog. We ask and pro--pone to petition tho city council for a. conference with dog owners, tax payers and the officers of -the hu mane society to amend tho present ordinance so that responsible anil bona fide residents of this city can keep dogs by paying a suitable li cense fee under the police power and nome rule provisions of the city, which alone has tho right to exer cise such powers of regulation. ' II. We uphold tho two general laws under which dogs are required to be placed on the tax rolls and assessed as other property at their true cash value to the owner and under which thousands of dogs are alresdy so as sessed and given standing as lawful property and contributors to the wealth of the state and county treas uries. Every dog in tho state of any value to the owner is presumed to be on the taxrolls and as such proper ty cannot be made subject to double taxation nor be taken and destroyed under city and state license laws without due process of law any more than other property. We uphold the other state law making the owner of any dog responsible for any damage done by that animal to live stock or to the person or property of any cit izen. Any dog under our state laws, (sec, 652-5523) molesting live stock can be killed by tho person whose stock has been hurt. III. We demand the repeal of chap.' 186 laws of 1919. requiring a state tax from all dogs within the state In addition to their being as sessable as property, and under the police power of cities already living unuer licensed permits in many cit ies, as in Portland where about $15.. 00 annually is collected from dogs and the funds used to carry on the work of the state humano society in caring for all neglected, abused or abandoned animals and even in en forcing laws against cruelty to chil dren. This new state law has unus ually cruel and Inhumane provisions and its strict enforcement would make it necessary to kill all the dogs with in the state in any one year, besides invading the police powers and rights of home rule guaranteed to cities. The new state law requires all dogs off the owner's premises to wear a steel or metal Shepherd's muzzle fastened over the nose and around the neck and a dog found without such muzzle and away from tho own er's immediate care shall be shot by any officer of the county or precinct. The only exemption is named in the law as a tiound dog for legitimate protection of a flockj against ravages of wolves and other wild animals.' Under the strict provisions of this law the state could not train or use bloodhounds to trail prisoners and the police cannot train and use po lice dogs r.s they would have to be muzzled when off state or city prop erty. IV.. We believe these laws serious ly conflict with each other and the test cases started in Portland nnd in this city should be carried to the highest courts and if found constitu tional should bo resisted as vicious and void nnd infringing the rights of owners d of the dumb animals who cannot speak for themselves. We pledge ourselves to support an edu cational campaign that shall bo made stato wide to defeat such unfair and unwise laws und we pledge ourselves to support only candidates who will pledge themselves to give dogs and their owners fair treatment and re store to cities absolute local control of the matter." F. Cf. Bligh, E. Hofer and John McNary were named as moinbors of a committee for the extension of pub llcity in behalf of the plan of Ttction adopted. Among the signers of tho memor ial, were: Mrs. Fred S. Stewart, II. D. Trover, T. J. Cronise, Louis Lach mund, S. C. Richardson, Harry M. Levy, L. J. Baycs, T. G. Bligh, U L.

This promise of the Fordson fac tory is based on their understanding that Oregon is developing and grow ing so rapidly that extra allotments of tractors must be allowed this state to prmit Its steady growth and de velopment. The Ford Motor however, that on the receipt of the , tractors they must be delivered Im mediately and the Oregon agents have gone on record that they will do this. ! With the wonderful soil and cli mate of the Willamette valley and the national advertising now being done we can at least feel that Oregon is coming into its own. Land values are steadily increasing, because of the wonderful opportunities in farming and the growing demand for Oregon products. Tower farming has solved the question of our great slate, and evidently the Ford Motor company lino cnnrrlit ttin A .u ; ei v.w .iniuii ui imuru of this state and is doing their part to materialize that vision. It now rests with the Oregon far mer to back his own project and jus tify the Ford Motor comnanv'u nit. Ion of making these extra allotments or tarm tractors. With an insistent de mand for tractors from, every state in the union, Oregon has been favor ed, and if tho rcsponso of the farmer is what it should be, it may be pos sible to keep up the extra shipments and our great state unfold and Me. vclop beyond even our greatest ex-: pectations.
