Constitution, art. 2, § 37, providing that no act shall he revised or amended by mere reference to its title, but the act shall be set forth in full as amended, does not apply to an act complete and perfect in itself, although it amends by implication or is a substitute for a section in a former law on the same subject; and hence is not violated by the act of 1909, entitled an act relating to materialmen’s liens and the enforcement thereof (Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1133), providing for the service upon the owner of duplicate statements of all materials furnished for the construction of buildings, etc.</p> <p>Statutes- — Title and Subjects — Veto op Part — Repeal Dependent Upon Appibmative Part.' The governor’s powers in the exercise of the veto being limited by the constitutional restrictions upon legislative powers, he cannot veto all the affirmative legislation in an act and approve a section repealing all inconsistent laws, where the repeal was dependent upon the affirmative legislation, and was not included in the title of the act except as connected with the vetoed affirmative sections.</p>
