MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
Arthur M. Aivard, Repub
lican candidate seeking nom
ination for Jackson county
sheriffs in the May 18 pri
mary, lias changed his mind
about the proposed Jackson
County Home Rule Chfejer.
In a letter to William W.
Patton of the Ashland Cham
ber of Commerce, Savard ex
plained his position regarding
the proposal. Last month,
Savard was erne of several
local candidates who spoke
before the Ashland chamber.
Savard said he feels "the
charter is a definite improve
ment over our present system
with its lack of fixed respon
sibility and inadequate co
ordination of and cooperation
between the various depart
ments. "Our county officials
w I

should not be critWzed for
failure to discharge their re
sponsibilities when we have
failed to provide them with
the prefer means' to do so,"
Savard said. "Control and
management must be pro
vided for our county govern
ment." He pointed out that the
"present controversy aoout
the delinquent taxes of Jack
son county has brought to
light the true need in the
sheriffs office; and for that
matter, our county govern
ment. The need is manage
ment." Savard said "lack of proper
organization and management
in our county government"
was clearly brought out in
the newspapers, "in whi':h tt
was pointed out thet one de
partment, having a responsi
bility to discharge, was de-'

niedj the means to do so by
another Apartment who did
not have the responsibility
but controlled the means."
This type of organization,"
he continued, "can only lead
to confusion and failure to
protect the interests of the
taxpayer."
Start of Campaign
e said that at the start
of his campaign he felt Home
Rule was not the answer "to
our problems and more tun?
was needed to stiuty in order
to o,velop the best possible
plan for Jackson county.
"I still feel adjustments
will have to be made if it is
to do the best job. I have
read yie charter I have lis
tened to the arguments on
both sides in an honest effort
to thoroughly understand it
and hence to vote properly.
' While I feel that Home
Rule, in its present lorm, is
not the whole answer to our
problems; I now plan to vote
in favor of it as ao step in
the right direction, keeping
in mind that the charter has
provided for the necessary'
adjustments should they be
found necessary."

John Grant Harris, 34, of

rant charging him with un

Dellenback Guest
At Coffee Session
John R. Dellenback, state
representative from Jackson
county, was guest of honor at
a coffee held at the home of
Mrs. John B. Lynch, 139 Ken
wood ave., Medford, Thurs
day. Dellenback is a candidate
for reelection on the Republi
can ticket.
About 20 persons gathered
to meet him and hear him dis
cuss legislative matters.
The candidate stated that a
legislator must vote carefully
on the merits of each bill in
its final form, for the original
intent may be modified or
even reversed in the amend
ments. A bill may have a
worthy purpose, but may be
a bad bill to administer and
enforce.
Dellenback cited the day
light pavings time bill as an
example of a bill that was
too hastily drawn up.
