By the provision of the Oregon
state law relative to the enforcement
of the state dog tax the county court
shall upon the presentation of a peti
tion by not less than 60 sheep or goat
owners declare such & county a dog
control district. This hss been done
and Jackson county Is now a do; con
trol district.
The board of supervisors of thl
district have appointed the Jackson
County Humane society to collect the
1035 state dog tax and at the present
time the society has agents thruout
the county on a house to hoise can
vas. The dog tax In Jackson county was
due January 1. It became delinquent
March 1 and thru the generosity of
the county court no penalty was
charged until March 10. ,
The dog control board and the
county court say they will insist at
the present time that every owner of
a dog or dogs In Jackson county pay
the original license fee plus a penalty
of one dollar or deliver their dog or
dogs to the Jackson County Humane
society .
The Humane society has accepted
the task of collecting this license due
to the fact that the county is overrun
with stray and unwanted animals In a
half starved condition that are not
only suffering themselves but causing
suffering and financial loss by prey
ing upon sheep, calves, pigs and
poultry- "
The Humane society feels that an
emergency exists and Is heartily In
co-operation with the county court
and the dog control board to rectify
this situation. There Is Just one of
two things for the dog owne.r to do.
the officials point out. "secure a
license for your dog and have him
wear It on his collar. In accordance
!th the state 7.' cr tsc the dog to
the Human Society that a complete
record may oe had on your animal."
The Humane society sincerely ad- j
vises the public to comply with the
law Inside of the seven days notice
given by Its agents in the field as
failure to do so will subject the dog
owner to a C10 fine, the license and
penalty and the costs of court.
