A CUT RATE NO BASIS

In Fixing Excursion Rates In the West, So
Chairman Abbott Decides.
CHICAGO, July 2O.-Chairman Abbott,
of the Western States Passenger Associa-
tion, to-day made a ruling on point that
has been raised in regard to harvest excur-
sion rates. 1t was agreed that these rates
should be for the round trip equal to the
lowest frst-class fare one way. Since the
date of this action the regular rate has been
cut by one road, so that the first-class fare
to Colorado and intermediate points is
lower than when the agreement. was made.
The Chairman rules that a cut rate can
not be used for basing purposes. and that
the round trip fares must be based on the
basis OF the al rate in existence at the
time of the agreement.

quired, until the list is exhausted,
and no one be required to serve dur
ing more than one term, until all
have been drawn. Such a plan Is
not only equitable, but perfectly
practicable, and we can think of no
reason why it would not work we'll
In every way.
Again, persons actually engaged
in certain professions and callings
should be exempt 10y statute 1t
has become a we'll established prac-
tice, kind Of unwritten law, that
certain classes Of people, doctors for
instance, shall not be drawn as
jurors. 1t would be much better in
every way that those whose callings
in life fairly entitle them to exemp-
tion from this form of public ser
vice, should have their rights in the
matter established and defined by
law. Such an arrangement need in
no way interfere with the court in
exercising its discretion to meet any
exceptional case Of hardship which
the statute did not provide for. The
exempt classes should include ply
sicians, apothecaries, clergymen,
most government officers, telegraph
and telephone operators and super
intendents, engineers in charge of
locomotives and steam boilers, mar
liners and probably others which do
not now occur to US. These are
matters of detail; what we contend
for is the principle of the exemp-
tons being fixed and defined by
law.
Serious Inconvenience to private
business should, when clearly shown,
be valid excuse for not serving.
Just what constitutes such serious
Inconvenience as would Justly entitle
a man to be excused, is something
very difficult to define in any law
Much would of necessity be left to
the discretion of the court But the
law should make it the duty of the
Judge to grant the exemption, in all
cases where grave inconvenience and
probable loss can be fairly shown.
There is no good reason why a man
of small means, with a business
which requires his constant personal
supervision, should be compelled to
let his own affairs go to rack and
ruin for a week or two at time,
while he is engaged in determining,
with the help Of eleven other jurors
and Judge, matters which may be
important, but which are quite as
likely to be petty and vexatious-for
instance: how much damage Smiths
COW did to Browns fence, or whether
Jones was justified by the provoca
ton he had received, in backing
RobinsOn's eye.
The next time our legislature
meets, a revision of the jury law will
be one Of the matters demanding at
tention. We would like to see some
comprehensive and practicable mea-
sure of reform proceeding from the
Ministry. But if we get the needed
improvements, we do not feel very
particular about where they come
from. Only, let us have them.
