The petitioner was admitted to practice law in this state on July 2, 1919, and is now about 43 years of age. He failed to pay his State Bar dues for the year 1936. On December 11, 1936, after the required delinquent notices were mailed to him, an order was made by this court suspending him from practice for nonpayment of dues.

On October 6, 1939, he was notified to appear before the local administrative committee and show cause why he should not be disciplined for disobedience of the order of suspension in violation of section 6103 of the State Bar Act…
