There is a measure to be vot­
ed upon at the special election,
June 7th, for which every wo­
man’s organization in the state
is working, and in which every
woman of OreRon should be vit­
ally interested; namely: “ The
Women Jurors and Revised Jury
Law.’’
These organizations feel that
it would be a great factor in law
enforcement and public, morality
could the wives, mothers and sis­
ters serve as jurors.
They believe in case of minors,
women are better fitted to act as
jurors than men, because they
have come in closer contact with
children, having had the care of
them in the home and in the
school.
One of the keenest criminal
lawyers on the coast, is quoted
as saying: “ We need women ju-
ro s in all cases where our com­
mercialism needs to be tempered
with humanity.“
Aside from the good which
they believe it will be to society
in general, and women and chil­
dren in particular, they have
submitted a summary of practi­
cal reasons why the bill should
pass.
1. Women pay taxes, women
are sued and bring suits in the
courts.
2. Women are compelled to
obey all laws and are prosecuted
for violations.
3. Women are voters, help to
make the laws, and should be al­
lowed to help determine when
and in what degree they are vio­
lated.
4. Women defendants should
have the privilege of women on
the jury if they should be de­
sired.
Women in Washington , , have
served satisfactorily on juries
since 11)11, and about one-half of
the jurors in that state are wo­
men.
,
Such men as King Dvkeman,
Judge Superior Court, Malcolm
Douglas, prosecuting Attornev,
Seattle. King countv. and W. H.
Abel, Attornev of Montany, say
that courts of Washington, as *a
whole, would not w>sh to change
the present system.
1. That women are not. unduly
swayed by their sympathy.
2. They come to decisions as
ouiekly. and do disagree more
frequently than do men.
IV That women jurors are
benefited by jury service.
4. That women do not seek
to avoid jury service more than
do men.
W. H. Abel furthersays: “ My
experience is that women pay as
close attention to th e evidence as
men, and if anything, tak e their
obligations more seriously.“
In Washington, and Califor­
nia. we find women g iv in g sat­
isfaction as jurors, and also in
Utah. Nevada. Michigan and
Kansas.- Why not in Oregon ?
We hope the women voters
will realize the importance of this
measure, and \hough some mav
be prevented from rendering
this public service, vet they may
contribute to the public welfare
hv voting for this measure, and
thus help to make it possible for
those women who are free to
EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS
give their services so to do.
