County Dog Control f
Procedure Efficient

in an inside "run" until It calms down. The county pound
has seven inside runs and seven outside runs. The pound
also has puppy cages and cat cages.

BEHIND BARS - Dogs are said to be man's best friend. But
man docs not treat them thai way. Thus, some dogs end up
behind bars without an owner. These two puppies had no
owner until they were taken to the pound, through which
they found a home. People interested in obtaining a dog may
do so by paying $1 fee, a low board fee, and the license fee.
(Editor's not: National
Dog Week was observed
lact week. Although laid to
be man's best friend, the
dog has created problems
both in urban and rural
areas. The following story
reviowi Jackson county's
elfort for dog control,)
By MARGIE GOOD
Mail Tribune Staff Writer
"Dors are man's best
friends."
This has been said through
out the history of America.
Although it may not be
true, the fad that the dog
population has riren ns the
h u m a n population lias in
creased adds truth to the
statement.
Statistics show that in 1037
there were 12 dogs for every
family in the United Slates.
In Jackson county in 1057
more than 6,000 licenses were
sold. Five years later In 1961
nearly 0,000 licenses were
sold. With this increase in the
dog population, control has
become a major problem.
Control Since 1933
Jackson count v has had
some form of control since
1933, when the state legisla
lure passed a bill setting up
control of dogs. Since 1933,
Jackson county has been
dog control district, and
Jackson county residents
have had to purchase licenses
for dogs.
Money obtained from the
fees is turned over to the
counly treasurer, who keeps
it in a dog license fund. Pay
ments of claims made against
dogs Injuring or killing live
stock is taken from the fund,
and the dog control officer is
paid as are other eNpenses of
enforcing dog control laws.
In 1960. the people of Jack
on county went to the polls
to vote on whether dogs
should run at large. In the
first election, the dog leash
law was passed, but in a later
vote. Hie proposal was re
jected. The leash law went
into effect only In Ashland,
Mcdford. and four precincts
In t lie county.
The county Is given the
primary responsibility of en
forcing and Implementing the
law. The procedure for en
forcement and penalties for
violation is provided In state
laws.

Enforcement of the dog
laws is carried out by Chris
Ilaglcr, county dog control
officer for six years. Hnglcr
has two men and three wo
men working under him.
The three men travel a com
bined 4,700 miles a month
answering complaints, which
average about 13 per day.
Complaints range from dogs
without a license to dugs kill
ing livestock. In 1961, there
were more than 4,700 com
plaints. Jackson county's tlog con
trol district is operating effi
ciently at the present lime,
according to Hagler. During
the 1961 dog control officer
convention, Jackson county
ranked second in the stale in
efficiency, and ranked better
than districts with more work
crs, he noted.
Could B Better
Although the district Is ef
ficient, it could be belter, bin
to make it belter several
things are needed.
More room is needed al the
dog pound. Although the
pound is new, It is overcrowd
ed. Radios should be installed
in the two trucks, to belter
utilize time and money.
Another useful Item need- i
ed is a tranquilizer pun. This j
would enable the officer to j
put the dog in a daze so it '
could be handled without I
harming it, Ilaglcr said. j
These things take money,
and the fund is low, lie noted. 1
Dog control is a contro
versial item. The question al
ways arises: "How much con
trol should there be?" Oregon
laws on dog control are flex
ible, and it Is left up to the
people In each county as to
how much control there
should be.

Washington lUPll - The Unit
ed Stales Supreme Court re
convenes Monday with two
justices named by President
Kennedy bringing a fresh
outlook to continuing prob
lems of race relations, legis
lative reapportionment and
religion in public schools.
New phases of these old Is
sues top the docket of about
1,100 cases-a record for the
start of a new term.
A batch of appeuls from
lunch counter "sit-in" demon
strators already has been ac
cepted for review and will
later be scheduled for argu
ment. A challenge to Geor
gia's county unit election sys
tym is in the same status.
Another dozen or more
cases were argued last term
but, because of the changes in
the court's membership, were
carried over for re-argument.
Observers will be watch
ing for voting trends stem
ming from the arrival on the
bench of the two Kennedy
appointees, Justice Byron R.
White who took his seat last
term, and former Secretary
of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg,
Absent for the first time In
20 years will be Justice Felix
Frankfurter, a powerful voice
against the court's more lib
eral advocates of individual
liberties. Also missing will be
Justice Charles E. Whittaker.
Both jurists were forced to
retire for reasons of health.
Goldberg, once a big
name labor lawyer, will be
sworn in to succeed Frank
furter when the opening
session starts at 10 a.m.,
EDT.
White, who came from a
high post in the justice de
partment, took his seat last
April IB. He had only a
brief tenure before the
summer adjournment on
June 25.
But the voles of these
two freshmen justices will
be important In determin
ing the role the court may
now play In the nation'i at
.fairs. ,
If either leans toward
the liberal bloc, the balance
of power would swing to
the group consisting of
Chief Justice Earl Warren
and Justice Hugo L. Black,
William O. Douglas and
William J. Brennan Jr.
Justice Potter Stewart,
who took his seat in 1959,
has held, the deciding vote
In numerous cases where
the claims of the individual
were balanced against gov
ernmental authority. He
has voted more with the
conservatives than with the
liberals.
The two remaining mem
bers of the conservative
wing are justices Tom C.
Clark and John M. Harlan.
The justices will meet in
private conference this
week to decide which of
the 600 or so cases filed
during the summer will be
heard.
Plans Being Made
For Fisher Visit
Ashland - Plans are being
made and events scheduled for
the visit of Carl Fisher, Re
publican for congress from the
fourth district, to Ashland
Tuesday, Oct. 9, according to
Mrs. R, G. Tabor, co-chairman
in charge of arrangements.
A coffee hour to which the
public Is invited has been
scheduled from 10 a.m. to
noon in the Parish hall of the
Trinity Episcopal church.
Mrs. Phil Selby, Ashland
campaign manager for Fisher,
said at that time the candi
date will present his platform
on district, state and national
issues and answer questions
from the audience.
"Mr. Fisher is anxious to
meet and talk with all voters
in Jackson county, regardless
of party affiliation," Mrs. Sel
by said, "because he feels the
that it is imperative that ev
Issues are of auch Importance
cry voter be informed on
them."
Other events and activities
In connection with Fisher's
visit are still In the planning
stage, Mrs. Tabor said.
The upheaval caused by tha
court's 1954 school desegrega
tion decision and subsequent
rulings on race problems still
is retleeted in the court'
docket.
Negro parents are objecting
to the racial transfer provis
ions of school integration
plans for Knoxville and lor
Davidson county, near Nash
ville, Tenn. They say the pro
cedures merely preserve seg
regation. Justice department efforts
in support of Negro voting
rights and its attempts to
wipe out discrimination in
interstate travel have now
reached the supreme court
level.
As an aftermath of the
"freedom rider" movement
last fall, the Kennedy admin
istration urged new interstate
commerce commission regula
tions forbidding interstate bus
and railroad companies from
using waiting room and other
terminal facilities that are
regregated.
Armed with the resulting
new regulations, the justice
department sued In several
southern areas to bar state
interference with desegrega
tion. Two of these actions, in
Louisiana and Georgia, are
now on appeal to the high
court.
The stales do not dispute
the constitutionality of the
regulations, but they contend
they interfere with commerce
inside the state-a matter of
state regulation. "
On the matter of city vs.
rural voting, the govern
ment obtained from the 5th
circuit an order requiring
that 94 specified Negroes
be registered in Macon
county, Ala., seat of famed
Tuskegee Institute. Another
temporary 8th circuit order
forbade further racial dis
crimination in registering
Negroes in Forrest county.
Miss. These the Supreme ,
Court must examine,
Two important sequela to
the New York prayer de
cision of last June 23 have
been appealed. They deal
with Bible reading in the
public schools of Baltimore,
Md., and Abington Town
ship, Pa. In the Baltimore
case, recitation of the
Lord's prayer is another
source of objection.
From Clackamas County,
Ore., there is a challenge
to -the state's "free text
book statute," under which
books are supplied to Cath
olic schools at public ex
pense. Another appeal concerns
the leasing to a Catholic
organization in Covington,
Ky of a county-city hos
pital built with public
funds. Certain taxpayers
objected.
The after effects of last
term's precedent shattering
decision on malapportion
ment of state legislatures are
also being felt as the new
term opens. The ruling, in a
Tennessee case, opened tha
doors of lower federal trib
unals lo complaints about im
balance between city and
rural representation.
Alabama and Michigan
have presented apportion
ment problems.
An issue of importance in
the labor-management field
deals with the legality under
the national labor relations
act of the "agency shop."
Under this system, an em
ployee must contribute to
collective bargaining costs
but need not join a union.
The 6th U. S. circuit of ap
peals ruled the agency shop
illegal last 'June 8 in a case
Involving General Motora
Corp. plants in Indiana. The
National Labor Relations
board has appealed to the
Supreme Court.
