The Louisiana Supreme Court held that the state statute prohibiting "endless chain" schemes was not unconstitutionally vague because a person of normal intelligence could understand the statute. Though the statute was admittedly lacking clarity, it adequately appraised the general public of the nature of the laws prohibitions and could not be held to be unconstitutionally vague. The statute made illegal any plan where one person sells to another the right to solicit others in that same way as the original purchaser.
