Despite making such adjustments to reflect the incidence of energy taxes, households in energy- producing states still bear the heaviest energy tax burden--this is primarily because workers and resource owners in energy industries also bear a sizable chunk of the ultimate tax burden once it has been shifted. On a per household basis, the states with the heaviest, total energy tax burden were: 1) Alaska, 2) Wyoming, 3) Louisiana, 4) Texas, and 5) New Mexico.

  • Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.

DUPRE LITTON Tape 1 Mr. Litton graduated from the LSU Law School in 1942, having been president of Phi Delta phi Legal Fraternity, associate editor of Law Review, and the first LSU student named to the Order of the Coif. During a period of thirty-four years, Mr. Litton served in numerous important governmental capacities, including executive counsel to the governor, chairman of the ~ state board of tax appeals, first assistant attorney general, and legal advisor to the legislature. Q. Mr. Litton, your career in state government has closely involved you with the administrations of this state through several governors, dating back to the time of Huey Long. Would youqive us your recollections of the high points in these administrations? A. Thank you, Mrs. Pierce. My recollection of the governors of Louisiana dates back even prior to 1930, which was some 50 years ago. However, in 1930, I entered LSU, and at that time, Huey P. Long was governor. He had been elected in 1928. I recall that on a number of occasions, I played golf at the Westdale Country Club, which is now called Webb Memorial Country Club, I believe, and I saw Huey Long playing golf, accompanied, generally by some twelve to fifteen bodyguards who were on both sides of him, as he putted or drove. Enough has been written about Huey Long that it would probably be superfluous for us here at this time to go into any details concerning him. However, history will undoubtedly recall that Huey Long was one of the most powerful and one of the most brilliant governors in Louisiana history.

CC 73 and the Birth of the Modern Louisiana Two- Party System Wayne Parent* Jeremy Mhire** The 1973' Louisiana Constitutional Convention ("CC 73") happened at a significant moment in Louisiana's political history. It occurred at precisely the same time that Louisiana's present competitive two-party system was born. While the emergence of a two-party system in Louisiana was slow, even when compared to those of the other formerly Democratic dominant states in the Deep South, it was dramatic and has had lasting effects. CC 73 helped define the coalitions that formed the basis of our present competitive two-party system. This article will first place the constitutional convention into the temporal context of this dynamic political period in Louisiana and the American South. Then it will describe how the specific coalitions that formed in the convention became concrete precursors to our present party system and speculate on the difference it has made to present day Louisiana politics.
