PHOENIX, Jan. Ex-Governor Hunt today issued his call for the Legislative session to be held Febru- ary 3rd and enumerated therein the various subjects of which the solons may treat. It was the desire of the executive and his call was fromed with such in view that no limitation should be placed on the legislature. All of the subjects he includes in the call, other than the list suggest ed by Mir. Pattee, the code commits sioner, Governor Hunt is desirous of seeing considered by the legisla- ture but of course such action is not compulsory and some of the sub jects may not be touched upon.
 Regarding the code which for some time 1t was doubtful would be included in the call, Governor Hunt took the view that no harm would be done in including it for consider ation at this time and if the legis Iature did not care to take up the matter they would not need to. The Governor therefore could not be charged with limiting or attempting to limit the scope the legislation at the extra session would take.
 In the list of subjects specially enumerated Governor Hunt is inter ested and desires some action upon by the solons which he no doubt will point out and suggest in the message he will transmit to the leg islature when they are convened. Most of the special subjects enum- erated Governor Hunt had called to his attention by urgent requests from citizens of the state who also urged him to call the legislative session that changes in existing laws might be made or new laws enacted. Another point in calling the extra session was to secure legislation which would facilitate the work of several of the new departments of our state government The great reason for the session however was that appropriations might be made for the various state institutions
