Here and There Editorial: liquor regulation and enforcement
The governor won a concession from the legislature on a tax enforcement law and liquor regulation. The piece critiques past prohibition failures, argues for strict enforcement and public exposure of violators, and urges local, hard boiled administration of new rules on liquor sales including package sales, Sunday bans, and age restrictions.

Richberg Seeks Extended NRA With Limited Codes
Donald Richberg urged the Senate Finance Committee to extend the National Recovery Act substantially beyond its present forty ten two years, but with codes limited to trades industries actually engaging in interstate commerce. In New Orleans Judge Wayne G Borah ruled the NIRA unconstitutional for industries manufacturing solely within a state but involved in interstate commerce, denying the government's injunction against Haowend Box Co Hammond La for alleged wage hour violations. The judge said the entire act may be unconstitutional, noting the Hammond plant serves farmers with fruit and vegetable shipments beyond Louisiana.

Thorn Liquor Bill Bars Drunkard Sale
The bill restricts license issuance to persons of good moral character aged 21 or older with no felony record. The commissioner of revenues sets license counts, can revoke licenses, and allows liquor advertising in newspapers. It fixes license fees for distillers, manufacturers, rectifiers, wholesalers, and retailers and allocates lease revenues to funds. It bans Sunday or election day sales and after hours, and bars sales to drunks or minors. A Laval option clause lets 45 percent of county voters petition for prohibition elections.
