The same privilege or immunity is extended by the act to all in the same situation. Any person who is a sailor may enjoy the immunity, and any citizen desiring such immunity may have it in the words of the constitution, `upon the same terms,' by becoming a sailor. While one may enjoy the benefit of the exemption, and another may not, this results not because the statute favors one, and discriminates against another, but because one brings himself within its terms, and the other does not."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Clark“"It does not prescribe one rule for one citizen or soldier, and another for his neighbor, if they be in the same situation.

This results, not because a different rule is prescribed for each, but because one brings himself within its terms and the other does not...."”
