1. ““Defendant charges that his rights were violated because no non-property owners or non-taxpayers were included on the jury panel chosen according to 38 O.S. 1971 , §§ 18 and 33. “This Court upheld the constitutionality of this State’s jury selection statutes in Acuff v. State, Okl.Cr., 283 P.2d 856 . This decision was cited with approval in the 1969 case of Porter v. District Court of Oklahoma County, Okl.Cr., 462 P.2d 338 . The same result was reached in two other recent cases. Moore v. State, Okl.Cr., 461 P.2d 1017 , and Wolfchief v. State, Okl.Cr., 461 P.2d 949 . Furthermore, the burden is upon the defendant to show that he was prejudiced in some manner by the selection system.””

Chronister, Okl.Cr., 353 P.2d 493 . There need not be absolute, irrefutable cause. Welch v. State, 30 Okl.Cr. 330 , 236 P. 68 ."”
