"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.

2 Chamber Highway
Committees Review
Priorities Program
Highway committees of the
Jackson County and Grants Pass
and Josephine County Cham
bers of Commerce met in Grants
Pass Wednesday night to review
their program of priorities, and
to renew their unique joint spon
sorship of regional projects.
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.
The chambers also reiterated
their original stand that the state
highway commission should' give
advance notice of their general
plans for new highway routes.
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.
