Enforcement Agencies Are
Unprepared for Dog Control
When the county-wide dog
control law goes, into effect
Aug. 30, it appears that it
will catch most affected
agencies in Jackson county
almost totally unprepared to
enforce its provisions.
Although the agencies have
had plenty of time to prepare
for enforcement of the law
(since the May primary elec
tion) it would seem that few
of them, if any, have given
it much thought.
It is quite possible that
they will just pretend there
Is no law at all.
Under a state statute re
Karding dog control, adopted
or this county at the primary
election, no dog will be al
lowed to run at large unless
it is muzzled. All dogs found
running at large shall be
picked up by the nearest law
enforcement officer and con
fined in the county dog pound.
Fines Provided
Fines of $10 and $20 are
provided for dog owners who
allow their dogs to run at
large.
Primary jurisdication over
the law is given to the county.
However, all law enforcement
agencies will be responsible
Dog control petitions
have been submitted from
four precincts, the county
elections department said
Friday.
Petitions include the Tal
ent, Ruch and' Applegate
areas and total about 95
verified signatures, it was
reported.
Three other petitions for
placing a dog control mea
sure on the November gen
eral election ballot have
been submitted, but they
were not notorized as re
quired by law, it was explained.
for apprehending at - large
dogs, according to slate law.
In the county government
Itself, the Jackson county dog
control board has been given
primary jurisdiction over en
forcement. But, the board has yet to
adopt any enforcement poli
cy. County Com mitiioner
Ralph James, who represents
the county court on the dog
control board, said all there
has been so far Is -"13115:."
There hasn't been any pro
gram for enforcement set up,
he said, and "they (the board)
don't even know if it (the
ordinance) will slay In or
not." ......
This, would seem to be a
valid doubt as there have
been many complaints from
persons who say they did not
know what they were voting
for when they approved the
law. Six petitions asking for
a revole on the law have
been received by the county
clerk and there are reports of
many more being circulated
throughout the county.
Commissioner James is of
the personal opinion that the
law "won't be workable in
the .county." He said further
that he doesn't believe people
ia the county "knew how they
were voting" and many are
"dissatsified." He added that
it might work all right in
cities.
Neither the city nor the
county has made any budget
provisions for enforcing the
law, although the law was ap
proved prior to adoption of
the final 1960-61 budget in
both caes.
No Preparations
Not one new man has been
hired, nor has one new piece
of equipment been purchased,
nor has as much as one addi
tional dollar been allocated
for the express purpose of
enforcing the dog control law.
But Commissioner James
and others do not seem to
feel that there will be any
extra costs incurred because
of the ordinance. James says
the county dog pound now
disposes of from 125 to 200
dogs a month and he does not
believe that this amount will
increase any with the advent
of the new ordinance. He
adds that the county dog pop
ulation has decreased during
the past few years.
Neither does James feel
that there will be any great
enforcement problems. Most
people who like and have
dogs, he said, will obey the
law when it goes into effect.
Others seem to feci as
James does, or they have
washed their hands of the
matter altogether.
Biggest Headaches
This apparent tendency to
ignore the law is especially
prevalent among members of
Medford's city administration.
And the city will undoubtedly
have one of the biggest head
aches in enforcing 1l:e law.
Medlord Police Chief
Charles P. Champlin said that
he has not been informed
what the police department's

ARNOLD K. HARRANG
Appointed to Position
Ag Representative
Appointed in Bank
The appointment of Arnold
K. Harrang as agricultural
representative in the south
west area of the state for
First National Bank of Ore
gon has been announced by
C. B. Stephenson, president.
He will maintain his head
quarters at Medford, covering
Medford, Ashland, Central
Point, Grants Pass, Coos Bay,
Gold Beach, Port Orford,
North Bend and Coquille
areas.
Harrang was horn in Sweet
Home, is a graduate of Ore
gon State college and a prac
tical agriculturist who has
been cited several times for
his successful farming meth
ods. He was chosen Linn coun
ty livestock Man-oMhe-Year
in 1955 and was honored
again in 1957 by being select
ed Linn County Grassman-of-the-Year.
Prior to 1953 when
he began operating his own
farm, Harrang served with
the Farm Security adminis
tration of the department of
agriculture and was an agri
cultural instructor in Albany
under the Veterans adminis
tration training program.
In his new post with the
bank, Harrang will be avail
able for consultation with
farmers, the bank president
said.

responsibilities will be under
the law.
"As far as I know." he said,
"the only responsibility of
police officers will be to
transport at-large dogs from
within the city to the county
dog pound." Champlin was
not sure of just how this will
be dune, but said offieens
probably will have to place
the dogs in their patrol .cars
when transporting them.
Any policy that the police
department might lake to
ward the new law would nec
essarily have to come from
the city administration.
Wailing to See
Both City Manager Robert j
A. Duff and City Attorney I
Joel Reedcr do not anticipate I
any definite action being tak- ;
en by the city in the near fit- i
ture. Duff said the city is j
waiting to see what the coun-
ty does and what problems
the county might have before .
taking any action.
In the county, Sheriff Joe .
Walsh said that his office will !
have very little, if anything, ,
to do with enforcing the ordi- ;
nance. If the sheriff's depart
ment receives a call of a dog
running at large, he said, they
will refer the caller to the
dog control department and
that will be it.
The dog control depart- ;
ment could hardly be called i
a large department. They !
have three full-time employ- !
ees, including County Dog .
Control Officer Chris Hagler, ;
and one part-time employee. :
In addition they have one :
county - owned pickup truck i
and Hagler gels mileage on ;
his own vehicle when he uses
it on county business. ,
It would appear from talk- ;
ing to most local officials that
they are not taking the new
law too seriously and do not
anticipate any problems in en
forcing it.
No Action Taken On Liquor Request
No further action has beer,
taken yet on an application
of Alaskan's Cafe and Tav
ern at Wimer to sell liquor
by the glass, according to
County Commissioner Chester
Wendt.
The county court is making
further investigation of the
matter, he said.
A hearing was held Wednes
day on the application of
"Woody" Owings, Wimer, to
secure the license.
Owings, owner of the cafe,
told the court he wishes to en
large his business. He present
ed the court a petition signed
by 49 persons favoring the
change from serving only beer
to liquor.
The Rev. Honry R. Holsing
er, Wimer Community church
pastor, presented a petition
against the request which was
signed by 64 persons.
In other Dustiness Friday,
the count ycourt approved the
application of Hunter's tavern
to sell wine off the premises.
This is similar to arrange
ments by grocery stores which
sell wine to be consumed off
the premises, il- was explained.
Average weekly earnings
for crude oil and natural gas
production workers in 1959
was S 114.
