47 Wn.2d 161 (1955)

287 P.2d 119

In the Matter of the Contested Election of WILLIAM F. BARTZ for the Office of Justice of the Peace, Chehalis Precinct, Lewis County. R.V. WAGNER, SR., Respondent, v. WILLIAM F. BARTZ, Appellant.

The Supreme Court of Washington, En Banc.

August 11, 1955.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ronald Moore, Jerome Walstead, and Willard Walker, for appellant.

C.D. Cunningham, for respondent.

ROSELLINI, J.

The question to be determined on this appeal is whether Laws of 1951, chapter 74, p. 210, and chapter 156, § 2, p. 430 (RCW 3.12.071), are in conflict with certain provisions of the constitution and, therefore, void. These statutes provide that in cities of over five thousand population a justice of the peace must be an attorney. Previous attempts to present this question have been abortive. See State ex rel. Bullock v. Stone,
