## Opinion text

MOSK, J.
I concur.
I agree fully with points I and III of the majority opinion. On point II, I would have joined Justice Burke in dissent but for the occurrence of subsequent events which have rendered that issue moot. As indicated in footnote 11 of the majority opinion, the Legislature has now provided methods alternative to the payment of fees for the qualification of candidates for public office.
