DANGER SIGNALS
There is no sorrier person than one
who has been victimized by a phony
deal. Unfortunately, once the buyer
has signed an order or contract, lit­
tle can be done to get him off the
hook.
“But I didn’t realize...” are words
often heard by lawyers who are us­
ually unable to help at that point.
Despite the complete disavowal oi
“caveat emptor” (let the buyer be­
ware) by ethical merchants, there
are still some businesses that thrive
on high promotion deals. Buyers are
contracted by direct mail, over the
telephone, or by “come on” adver­
tisements. Such sellers resort to fan­
cy claims and a high pressure ap­
proach.
How can you avoid such sales tac­
tics? There is no sure way, outside
of dealing with reputable, established
merchants, and using common sense
in reading the ads. But there are cer­
tain danger signals that should ring
the alarm bell. Here are a few:
“Buy now or lose the chance..."
“You have been especially select­
ed...”
“It’s only a legal form...”
"You can save up to...”
“Yours absolutely free...’”
These signals do not necessarily
indicate a bad deal, but they are fre­
quently used by shady promoters. So
read carefully, think it over, com­
pare prices, and ask for information
from a merchant you know, or from
a friend.
Remember, in this world of tough
business competition, o n e seldom
gets anything for nothing. Once you
have signed an order, even the law
may not be able to help you, no mat­
ter how bad the deal may be for you.
In fact, unless the seller is doing
something illegal, the law may wind
up helping him to enforce the bad
deal that you made. So watch the sig­
nals and look before you leap - or
sign!

DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Most likely you can’t picture your­
self being brought into court on any­
thing worse than a speeding viola­
tion. Nearly everyone feels that way
Even so, it is good to know that in
this country you can’t be made to
stand trial twice for the same of­
fense.
We have a provision in the Oregon
constitution against “double jeopar­
dy.” That’s one of the important
safeguards in our system of law
which makes it certain that once a
court has reached a verdict of “inno­
cent,” the acquitted person may not
be put on trial for the same offense.
This right holds good, however, on­
ly if a full trial is held and a verdict
is reached. It is possible to face an­
other trial on the same charge if the
first trial ends with a “hung jury”
or a “mistrial,” or if a new trial is
requested or if the judgement of ac­
quittal is reversed by the state Su­
preme Court on appeal by the State.
A classic example comes from
the “Wild West” in the late 1880’s. A
man named Ball was charged with
murder, along with two others. Ball
was acquitted, but the others were
found guilty. The guilty pair appeal­
ed to a higher court, and their or­
iginal indictment was found to be
faulty.
Once again the government accus­
ed all three men, Ball claimed his
right against double jeopardy had
been invaded, and the U. S. Supreme
Court agreed. He didn’t have to stand
trial again. The other two did, and
paid the penalty for their guilt.
The reason for the "double jeopar
dy” provision is to protect the indivi­
dual from being hounded all his life.
In old England, where the fear of tyr­
anny first promoted safeguards for
personal freedom, one court said:
“Were it not for this rule, anyone ob­
noxious to the government might be
run down by repeated attempts to
carry on a prosecution against him ’.
If elephants could be bought for a
$1 down and a $1 a month, it would
be interesting to see how many would
be sold.

I was offered a dishwashing job
for 40c an hour. If I refuse will my
welfare check be stopped?
Public welfare does not compel
people to accept employment which
is substantially below the prevailing
wage. If you accept employment
which is not sufficient to meet your
needs, public welfare may be able
to make up the difference and per­
mit you to keep a small allowance
for working expenses. In the case you
mention, however, you might wish to
consider referring the prospective
employer to the State Labor Com­
mission for action to prevent his ex­
ploiting his employees.
Can the welfare investigator arrest
people?
No his function is simply to obtain
evidence where there is indication of
fraud or other illegal practice. This
evidence is then turned over to the
District Attorney for prosecution.
Is It true that welfare pays adults
to go to school?
Where a welfare recipient is un­
able to obtain employment because
of lack of education or skill, public
welfare may be able to provide vo­
cational training and continue the
welfare grant to enable the recipient
and his family to maintain themselv-

Can public wellare arrange for my
children to be taken care of in a fos­
ter home while I am working?
The purpose of foster care is gen­
erally to provide a temporary substi­
tute family for a child who is unable
to remain in his home due to some
special problem. The welfare depart­
ment can, however, offer you help in
planning for your children’s’ care
and may be able to refer you to a
Day Care facility.
