James U. Dennis: I move that the report be accepted. The motion was duly seconded, and on the question being put it was declared carried.

The President: The next business is the report of the Committee on Laws, of which Mr. W. Burns Trundle is Chairman.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON LAWS.

W. Burns Trundle: Mr. President, four bills have been presented in obedience to the mandate of the Association at the last meeting.

The first bill prepared is a bill to repeal the volunteer militia exemption from jury duty. The members of the Association have received the copies of the report and it is not necessary to read that bill in full.

I will explain briefly the purport of the amendment. As the law now stands, active and uniformed members are exempt from jury duty, which, of course, ought not to be changed, and, in addition to that, those persons who are honorary members are also exempt from jury duty. That is wrong. A citizen ought not to be relieved of that high duty by simply becoming a member of any regiment and paying $10.00 a year. So the effect of the amendment is to eliminate from the law exemption from jury duty by reason of becoming an honorary member in any of the militia regiments. That is number one.

It was suggested at the last session that if the revenue derived by the militia regiments from the source of honorary membership be eliminated, some provision ought to be made in order to make up to them the loss of that revenue. It is thought that one thousand persons now avail themselves of this privilege given by the law, so that if that is done away with by the repeal of the law as it now stands, and the adoption of the amendment which we have proposed in the first bill, there will be a diminution of the revenue of about $10,000, as far as the militia regiments are concerned. To cover that point we have prepared a second bill, which is as follows:

Section 37. The general appropriation for the militia shall be exclusively applied to the necessary and contingent
