THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
EXERTION OF
WOMEN THREAT
TO JURY SYSTEM
tjniyersity of Oregon, Eugene,
Pec. 16 (Special) So many women
have taken ad vintage of the priv
ilege of claiming exemption a jur
ors, partieularly those living in the
mora sparsely tettlod sections, that
the law making women eligible for
Jury service has been . practically
nullified. B. Justin Miller, profes
sor of lew at the University of Ore
gon, expressed this opinion at the
opening session of the convention
of the State District Attorneys'
association. He spoke on the sub
ject, "The Woman Juror," advocat
ing the repeal of that section of
the law that gives women the right
to claim exemption.
"The bad result of the exemption
system is most pronounced in the
more remote counties wh,ere popula
tion is more scattered and the coun
ty seats are more inaccessible," de
clared Prof. Miller. "The average
of women who claimed exemption
from jury service in all counties
outside of Multnomah county from
January to the , end of November
was 77.7 per cent. The report cov
ers the regular, and not the special
venires of the year." .
"In Multnomah county, which
ihows the highest per centages of
women who accepted service, the
actual numbor of women who served
In the eleven months lg 25 per cent,
less than the number of men. One
thousand and forty-two men were
called in Multnomah county and
nine were exempted. One thousand
and thirty-three women were called
: and 688 were exempted. Four hun
dred and thirteen men served as
against 305 women.
The per centage who claimed ex
emption in counties other than
Multnomah follow: Baker, 87.5 per
cent; Benton, 00; Clackamas, 67.5;
Clatsop, 100; Columbia, 60; Ooog, 80;
Curry, 50; Deschutes, 100; Douglas,
91.4; Gilliam, 71.4; Grant, 100;
Harney, 90.9; Hood River, 68; Jack
eon, 85.2; Josephine, 65; Klamath,
60; Lake, 83.3; Lane, 69; Lincoln,
65.5; Linn, 75.1; Malheur, 100; Mar
lon, 72.4; Morrow, 1.4; Multnomah,
82; Polk, 90; Umatilla, 81.5; Union,
87.5; Wallowa, 78; Wasco, 66.2;
Washington, 94.7; Wheoler, 82.3;
Yamhill, 44.8. In Crook, Sherman,
end Tillamook counties no women
were called for jury duty. No fig
ures were given for Jefferson coun
ty, but the report stated that every
woman called claimed exemption.
"The argument may fairly be
made, as has been done in Multno
mah county, for instance, that as
women become more used to the
idea of jury service, and more edu
cated to its need, they will cease
claiming exemption," continued
Prof. Miller, "This'may have proven
truo in some cases, although the
fijiros are by no menns conclusive
in the caso of any county, not even
excepting Multnomah county and in
others no progressive development
has occurred at all.
"We hesituio to think of what
would happen to the institution of
trial by jury, fi men should demand
equality with women in the right
to claim exemption from service."
