Louisiana 1921 Constitution Redefines State Governance
The 1921 Louisiana constitution, lauded by Governor Parker, modernizes the judiciary with two extra supreme court members, reduces districts, and raises judge salaries. It creates a rehabilitated state university fund, adopts a pay-as-you-go highway plan funded by a 2 cent gasoline tax, and renames several offices while expanding the public service commission. Two delegates refused to sign over policy disputes.
