 Opinion From J. F. J. McBride
 June II, 1918. Hon. Harry c. Houser,
 House of Representatives,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 My dear MT. Houser:
 In accordance with your request I have had under consideration House Bill No. F, in connection with your in- quiry as to whether or not it comes within the governors call. Paragraph of the governors call | reads as follows:
 | "To encourage and to put premium on the AmeficaniZation of all aliens within the state
 | The subject then, proposed for the action of the legislature, is the encour- agement of the Americanization of aliens. AmericaniZation is to render American in custom and character: to assimilate to the customs and in- stitutions of the United States III HIS ulcsSdSc lllt SON0TnOT mas re- ferred to the educational facilities ar- | forded by the public schools of the state, and urged the adoption by leg islation bearing upon the education of aliens in regard to the customs anc institutions of the United States But the subject as given in has call very apparently covers a wider field than i education in the public schools. Encourage means, ito help forward promote; give support to; to make stronger
 | Premium means, "a reward; a rec ompense given for particular action or line of conduct or specifically anything given as an inducement." Therefore, the call means, ITO pro- mote or make stronger by means Of some reward or inducement, the as- similation of the customs of the United States by the aliens within the state of Arizona
 i May Not Compel the Trend While the governor, in the exercise | of his constitutional authority may convene in special session the legis- | lature of the state for the considera tion of such subjects as are set out in | the call, the executive department ex- ercises no authority, under the constf- tuition, to compel the trend of legis- | ative action upon such subjects The ! message of the governor for that req son, cannot be looked upon as a lim;- .
