Mississippi Legislature Ends Remarkable Session With Wide Reforms
The Mississippi legislature adjourned after two months of work, approving about sixty percent of introduced bills. Major actions include apportioning the state into eight congressional districts, a compulsory primary system, creating an insurance department, and a 2,250,000 appropriation for public schools. Investments in universities and colleges, plus numerous state projects, dominated the session, with extensive local legislation also enacted. A notable setback was the failed good roads law.
