Governor Long seals gas tax victory amid switches in Louisiana House
Governor Earl Long's gas gathering tax increase passes the Louisiana House after key defections from anti tax leaders. Reps Garrett Downes and others switch sides, enabling a 2 per cent hike and setting up Senate action to restore the 200 per cent aim. The result fuels broader tax increases and leaves teachers to face political fallout. Newsprint production figures note 26,000 workers in 1957 harvesting about 75 million trees.
