250 WOMEN TO
BE INCLUDED IN
LOCAL JURY CALL
A
OF
20 PER CENT IN
CHRIST
IS Ml
, Women wlil lie railed as jurors
at the February term of the circuit
court, under the state law, approved
by the Voters at May. 25, 1921, pri
mary, and County Clerk Chauneey
Florey will draw the list tlio first j
woek In January, which will contain I
tbe names of 250 women and 2."0
men. The list Is for the year. The;
law as amended only requires that i
Juror bo a voter, and not alone a j
taxpayer us heretofore.- j
The second story of the new coun-
cy vault will be used an women's j
quatlers, though tho dellltorations of j
a Jury will not lie separate.
School teachers are alone exempt
froin service, but all other women
may be excused upon request, as fol
lows, as provided by the law:
"Any woman desiring to be
excused from jury service may
claim exemption by signing a
written or printed notice there
of and returning the same to tho
sheriff before tbe date for ap
pearance, and If exemption; Is so
claimed by reason of sex no ap
pearanco need bo made in ans
wer to said summons; provided,
. that it shall be the duty of tho
' person serving any summons for
Jury duty to Inform every fcuialo
person so served of this provision
and to furnish hor with a written
or printed blank on which to
make such claim for exemption."
The requirement for a juror of!
both sexes is: a citizen of the Tailed I
States, ever 21 years of age; a legal;
voter of the country in which he or
she resides, and In possession of his
natural faculties, and a sound mind.
The new jury-law, effective Jan
uary 1st, also provides, that in all!
criminal actions, where tne complain-1
ing witness or the defendant is un-
der 18 ysrs of age. one-half of the:
jury sha.Il be women. !
The law also excuses members of ;
the legislature when the august body!
is In session. " j
Oregon is the last of the Paclfici
coast states to have women jurors.
"Women served on the Roscoe (Fatty)
Arbuckle trial in California, one be-
Ing credited with hanging the Jury, j
In Washington, a notable case in '
which women acted as jurors, wasj
the murder, trial of James E. Ma-;
honey, charged with the murder of
his aged wife.
Among tbe cases to be tried at the
February term of court.'with women
as jurors, will be the remainder of
the Bank of Jacksonville failure
cases, and the probable, retrial of
John Godwin and James (Shine) Ed
wards, taxt drivers charged with
bootlegging!
Tho Christines business of tho Mod
ford postoffico wis greater by 20 per
cent this Christmas than on any pre
vious year In the history of the of
fice, according to Postmaster William
J. Warner who has been connected
with tho office for 20 years past. Not
only that but there were far less dam
aged packages received this yar thaa
usual.
Tho increase is attributed to the
steadily growing increase In the
city's population, especially during
tho past year, and the fact that In
tho main tho local people are pros
perous. This Increase was both In
outgoing and incoming Christmus
matter.
The better condition of tho ar-j
riving packages is duo to the fact
that the people of the United States
generally this year heedvd the cam
paign to mail early, and thus the
Christmas packages camo streaming
U steadily to tho Medford office over
a week's period, instead of all com
ing practically at onee durins the
few days before Christmas. It Is the
congestion of packages that causes
their damage.
Ono thing that the local postoffice
staff is very proud of is that all the
Christmas packages received here
were delivered each day. which re
quired hard hustling and long hours
on tho part of every member of the
staff. Some of the staff worked 17
hours a day.
The especially heavy parcel and
letter mail of Saturday was all clean
ed up and delivered by 9:30 p. m
that night, including all the Christ
mas letter mail which arrived on the
9:0 a. m. train, and which was five
times more than the normal distribu
tion of letters. The big parcel mall
arrived on the special package and
express train at 1 p. m.
Hat comparative'- little Christmas,
mail arrived on Sunday afternoon,
but each package and letter was de
livered by noon Monday. That clear
ed the Christmas decks completely
and the parcel and letter mall had
dropped to normal by this morning,
although there were many packages
and letters for tbe stores and of
fices which could not be delivered
Monday because of such places being
closed that day.
One factor which helped out in
the prompt handling of the Christ
mas delivery is that the five extra
subs employed at the local postoffice
were all experienced men, and the
fact that the big business houses
throughout the country held back
their advertising matter this year un
til after Christmas.
(Hp. On their return they will reside
in Ashland.
Miss Clark Is n' popular Medford
girl, a graduate of the Medford high
school with the Class of 191S, who was
formerly employed as a private sten
ographer by O. C Hoggs and who re
cently resigned her position to be
married.
Mr. Krlckson Is a well known Ash
land boy, a graduate of Ashland high
school, and also a graduate of Oak
land, Calif., polytechnic school, who
wont wtth the O. A. C. boys to Franco
and took n active part in the World
war, ami also is at present employed
by tho Standard Oil Co. of Ashland.
THINKS FAIR PLAN BEATEN
(Continued from page one.)
face to face with a real responsibility
In this matter and felt It. It was hIiowii
thorn that In Portland about 80 per
cent of the voters paid not a cent of
taxes. Tho proportion out over tho
state Is not so hlnU but it runs up
pretty near to half the voters. With
thcMO figures before us. ami the fact,
which is a fact, that nearly nil the
Increase In taxes brought about during
recent years has been due to tho votes
of the people, In fact, the votes of
these irroftKnslhle voters who pay no
taxes, we showed many of the mem
ber that It was their duty to refuse
to submit the measure unless they
could conscientiously recommend It.
Carter, Sheldon Vote "No"
"The real fight came on a compro
mise measure which Increased the
present tax of 2e r gallon on gato-
our chances of nccouipllNhlntl that.
Thomas Also Votes "No" '
"Tho fight In the anate was a Imttlo
royl lasting two and half days, re
suiting In tho failure of tho propotui!
by ono vote, tienntor Thomas took the
same stand as did Mr. Carter and 1
and voted "no."

Is at last getting tho carneM consid
eration of the average man, as it has
for some time hd tho attention of the
thinking men of tho state
"In other words, tho levelor-headod
members of the legislature forced the
whole membership to
and fairly, tho proiostUou us to
whether we. as legislators, were justi
fied in recommending to the people
that pass a measure taxing themselves
3.000,000 to permit the holding of a
16.000,000 exposition at Portland as
against tho original plan of n much
smaller fair, supported by individual
subscriptions. With this proiosition
fairly before them, and the testimony
as to conditions from the several sec
tions of tbe state beginning to pour In,
the advocates of the fair tlx proposi
tion found themselves up against a
hard job. 4
"This feeling began to grow as the
members gathered at Fortland a few
days before the session, liy the time
we were at Salem, it was In full swing.
The boys who were the loudest in
their opiHisttion were those from east
ern Oregon, men who had always been
known for their liberal and "progres
sive" attitude. On the first day of the
session, we started a round robin in
the house, pledging ourselves to fight
any exposition measure which involv
ed more taxes upon the general pro
perty of the state, now bearing a tax
burden almost to the breaking point.
Both Mr. Carter and I, Jackson coun
ty's two representatives, signed this
and helped in the fight against the
general $3,000,000 tax measure. Ily
Monday night we had 3G signatures,
five more than enough to defeat It.
Opposition Firm
"At first the Portland boys tried to
break down this 'bloc. Hut by Tues
day noon they came to the conclusion
that we had a stone wall and at the
suggestion of some of their leaders
turned to a gasoline tax proposal. This
turning to another plan was natural
for the Portland men were told right
and left, by practically all of us that
were opHsing tho J3.ouO.00t) tax plan,
that we were for the fair if any pro
position could be evolved which we
would feel justified in recommending
to' the people. The legislators were

By the time the proposal came up
for consideration In the senate, the;
situation was beginning to be a little
better understood, and tho desire that
we all had for an exposition, which:
desire was reflected in the house vote,
was tcuiored by a face to face eou-j
siderntlon of tho plan of dipping Into'
the fund which was rivaled solely for
putting a sound financial foundation
beneath our highway bonds, already :
amounting to nearly $10,000,000. which
lKnds with Interest would have to be
paid by further taxes upon general
property It our auto license and gusu-;
lino tax foundation proved Inadequate; '
tho mutter assumed a little different j
hue. While we all wanted tho falr.j

original scheme from a $1,500,000 sub-'
soriptlon plan to a $i,00o,0oo taxation's
plan was worth Incurring the dangers
involved iu dipping into our $40,000,000
highway, bond reserve fund, assumed
real serious proportions. It should
also be remembered that many of us
had been' ounding away during the
past two sessious for putting more and
more of the burden of this highway
reserve fund on gasoline Instead of'on
direct auto licenso tax. 0'id we could
soo where the diverting of this fund to
fair purposes at Portland, knocked out
place until something really tangible
toward better and more snuo economic
conditions in tho slate bus been tie
eouipllshed.' Tho best men of the
