judges for the county OF Pierce; three
Judges for the county OF King" and so
on as TO the other counties This act was
approved March q. 1880 There had al
ready passed the legislature a bill pro-
vidinE for additional judges. two each for
the counties OF, Spokane. King and Pierce.
which act was approved March g. 1870
For this reason a provision was inserted
in the organization act already referred
TO, to the effect that this section shall
be construed as including the additional
superior Judges authorized by law passed
during the present session Of the state
legislature. providing for additional judges
OF the superior courts for the counties of
Spokane. Pierce and King
AT the following session. 1891. an act was
passed providing for additional judges for
the superior courts In various counties.
exclusive OF Spokane. Pierce and King.
In 1895, the legislature, again exercising
the power conferred upon II by the con-
stitution. respportioned the judicial dis
ltrfcts. and enacted that there be elected
''-in the county OF King three superior
judges: in the county OF Pierce. three
superior Judges" and rearranged the Ju-
diciai districts OF the remainder OF the
state. II Is as to this act that the doubt
has been expressed. II provides that
three judges shall be elected at the gen.
erai election to be held in 1856: but makes
no provision for subsequent elections. II
IT only necessary to read into the act IN
question the words OF the constitution
that the number of judges and the char
acter Of the districts shall stand until
otherwise directed by the legislature" to
make 1t a permanent condition pending
further legislative action.
II is true that the act Of 1891 was de-
Shared by the supreme court in the case
Dustin VS. Rusk. reported in the Fiji
teenth Washington. to have been repealed
by implication by the act OF 1906; and II
has been proclaimed that. by analogy the
act Of 1880 was repealed. This 10 not
iustifable conclusion. The act OF 1895
might be held to have repealed the act Of
1880 creating the additional Judgeships.
but il could be only by violent construc-
ton held to apply to the act organizing
the superior courts
