At the first bell Villa tore from
his corner and from then on a be-

center of a brown whirl.
Pancho pcked, punched, hooked,
smashed and battered Buff round

cried for relief, but his stout nerve
and staunch though thin legs kept
him stumbling III for more and more
punishment.
At the end of the tenth round

would be elected on a basis OF pro-
sportiona: representation and chosen
by popular vote for a term of four
years. One half of the number
would be elected every two years.

be under $500 a year.

fnent OF the government included
the creation of ten executive G
partmentS as follows: Finance. ag-
riculture, public works. labor. mines
and minerals. public health, puolic
welfare, trade and commerce, edu-
cation and law enforcement. Inc
heads of these departments would
be appointed by the governor. with
the approval of the legislature, ana
would receive saladieS TO be de-
termined by the legislature.
Judicial changes provide Tor a
judicial council consisting OF TWO
Judges from the county courts. two
from the district courts, two from
the civil courts Of appeal. two from
| the criminal courts of appeals, ana
tuo from the supreme court. IL Is
also provided that verdicts OF lur-
les shall require a concurrence OF
at least nine members out OF the
twelve composing the jury instead
of twelve. and that appellate courts
shall be permitted to hear aool-
tional evidence in cases appealed.
All forms of tobacco, perfumes
and cosmetics. chewing gum. NOV
ing pictures, theater tickets. attn
Jetic games. gasoline and soft
drinks would he taxed under the
proposed constitution. and there
would also be a tax on personal IN
come. All constitutional limita-
lions on the legislature as TO the
amount Of taxes that might be lev
led would be removed.
Educational Plans

the following: That all institutions
