4'1uNlG1N GGOSOA%@AOAAEEJ Jury Commissioners .

The following statement OF very important
matter has been prepared for The Post by
well known jurist
As the Texas law now stands every court OF
record in each county appoints its own jury
commissioners. In Harris county there will be,
as soon as the new district court is organized,
FIVE courts Of record and as many jury commits
poiutment of jury commission for each court
creates great confusion in this, That persons who
serve as Jurors in the district court and as grand
jurors are exempt from jury service after hav-
ing served six days consccuhvely and the jury
commissioners either can not or will not con-
slider these and other exemptions from jury
service and at every term OF each OF the courts
it is found that the same persons are appointed
by Jury commissioners TO serve on as many as
two and sometimes three of these courts at one
time Besides, persons who are appointed by
the district Judges are not paid, they only serve
for one or two days at the farthcst observe no
system, hurry through with their work, because
they receive no pay for it, and make selections
only from those who hrst come into their minds
and frequently as many as half OF their selec-
tions are exempt by reason of over age recent
jury service or other legal exemptions and the
courts are crippled frequently for this reason,
Besides this it forces business men, who really
have excuses or exemptions, TO lose valuable time
in going to court to render their excuses, often
causing men TO do more than their duty to the
government and many good and competent men
who are subject to jury duty arc never called on
II a jury commission was selected by the
