"District Attorney i Says Protection Of Innocent First Protection of the Innocent Is the first duty of the district at torney's office, District Attorney Paul Haviland declared Wednes . day at the Kiwanis luncheon meeting at Rogue Valley Coun try club Other duties are prosecution of the guilty and giving legal advice to county officers, he pointed out, A district attorney is supposed to be fair and impartial he must not be prejudiced in or der to protect the innocent, Havi land asserted. He maintained that the office should not be a political one. The post should be elective, he said, but on a non partisan basis. TelU Reasons Haviland said that complaints are not signed by a district at torney or his assistant for the obvious reason that the com plainant must swear that the facts stated are true. Therefore, it is necessary for a person who sees the offense committed or for policemen, who has obtained a confession, to sign a complaint, he brought out. The district attorney reported 170 felony complaints last year with 38 persons sent to the peni tentiary. Others received sus pended sentences or were placed on probation. He stated that it was only necessary to try one felony. Police officers did a good job of Investigating, he said, and those charged realized the folly of having a trial. According to Haviland, most of those sent to prison had been in the county only a short time or were passing through and got caught at crimes. Haviland said that problems In Jackson county have multi plied in 25 years. However, there are only three persons in his of fice, the district attorney, an as sistant and one office secretary, the same as there was 25 years ago.

The two chambers are thought to be the only ones in the state that fully and completely co operate in advocating a joint pro gram o highway construction be fore the State Highway Commis sion. The current program gives the Ashland-Central Point section of Highway 99 top priority on inter regional highways, followed by a new Caveman bridge at Grants Pass. State primary highway priorities include the Cave Junc-tion-Selma section of Highway 199, and the Eagle Point-Prospect portion of the Crater Lake highway. State secondary- pri orities include a new Applegate bridge, and the Jacksonville Ruch section of Highway 238.

This would be a great assistance to cities in planning for the fu ture, it was pointed out, and spe cific details are not requested just a general indication.
