Baton Rouge.-Louisiana's constitu-
tional convention is now a matter of
history, having been in session ITO
days, its cost to the tax payers being
$302,500.
The outstanding features of the
new constitution are:
/. Judiciary system was reorgan-
lied from the Supreme Court down.
This probably is the most important
act of the convention. The Supreme
Court was enlarged from five to seven
judges, with authority to sit in divi-
sions and given supervisory powers
over all inferior courts. Jurisdiction
Of the Courts of Appeal was broaden
ed. The number of district judges
was reduced and their salaries in
creased.
2. A greater state university and
agricultural college was set in the
constitution, with a $7,00O,0O0 rehabi-
litation fund, and tax Of half mill

tuition after January /, 1925.
3. Suffrage and election regula-
lions were revised with the adoption
of the Mississippi understanding"
cause, the Connecticut and Georgia
good character" clause, and provis-
ions DISTINGUISHING bride givers and
bride takers and political slush fund
contributors and dispensers. Regis
trars Of voters outside of Orleans par
sin were made appointive by police
turies. State elections and New Or
leans city elections were placed two
years apart.
T. Construction and maintenance
of q state system of highways on the
pay as you go" plan, were provided
without the issuance Of bonds or the
mourning Of any debt. This is to
be done by segregating into a state
highway fund all taxes and licenses
on vehicles of every description, in
GLIDING motor cars, and by imposing
a sales tax of two cents per gallon
on gasoline.
5. The Legislature was authorized
to impose severance taxes on natural
resources and was required to allo-
cate one-fifth of such taxes up to
100000 year to the parishes where
oil and gas are produced.
g.. The Legislature was permitted
to impose a fiat tax of per cent on
net incomes after 1924.
z. State tax rate was limited to
IA mills, but with authority given
the Legislature by two-thirds vote,
to increase the rate to S-4 mills.
8. Enterprises located on the In
dustrial canal at New Orleans were
exempted from taxation for fifteen
years.
9. New Orleans and Shreveport
were authorized to exempt from mu-
nicipal taxation for four years all
dwelling houses valued at $4,000 or
less, constructed prior to December
81, 1925.
