(UPI) IT'S YOUR LAW Rttpeei for Law Main Demncncy tnt Editor'! note: The follow ing article wai prepared by the Oregon State Bar and is not intended to be legal ad vice. Persons having a legal problem should consult an attorney. SUING THE GOVERNMENT "The sovereign can do no wrong" still means that no one can sue the United States, the state or the other govern ment agencies or their em ployees without consent. But the law has given up much of the government's "sovereign immunity" to al low one to sue an agency for injuries or damages suffered. But as a citizen you may have claims against your gov ernment for damages, over paid taxes, license renewal or anything else. If so, be sure to follow strictly all the legal procedures and conditions Village Variety and Garden Shop Next to Piggly Wiggly...771 STEWART AVENUE New Arrivals FUCHSIAS Hanging Baskets $269 $495 A Decorative xLr 3p WICKER m Baskets Bird Cages ' Doll House Furniture TL it $189 .i- New Shipment 88c ALBUMS Western Pop Classic H Large ASSORTMENT of SOUVENIRS 1 like filing your claim in the city council or with a govern ment agency. The Federal Tort Claims Act allows one to sue the United States for injuries such as when an army or postal truck runs into you, or you get hurt in a national park or in a fed eral building, or a military plane falls on your house, etc. Makes U.S. Liable This law makes the United States liable in many cases when a federal employee harms you by lack of due care or negligence while he is on the job. The act does not al low suits for certain inten tional misconduct such as as sault, battery, false imprison ment and the like. The law allows any federal agency to settle cases involv ing less than a thousand dol lars. If your claim is for more, you can sue in a federal court. Bring claims or suits within two years after injury. Some agencies have you make your claim on a proper form in which you state facts about your injury or damage. Some agencies may pay the smaller claims from funds on hand. May Reject Claim If the agency people do not think the harm is their fault, they may turn down your claim, and then it is up to you if you wish to go further to prove your case. Sometimes a just claim does not fall under any provision of the law. In that case as a last resort, you as a losing claimant, may have Congress itself pass a private bill to pay you for your injuries or dam ages. The Federal Tort Act was passed to keep down the num ber of private bills going through Congress. So if you have a claim not covered, you should make sure it is other wise a fair and just claim. The Henry Hudson arch bridae in New York Citv has what is believed to be the lonrjest nlntn irirripr in nnv fixed steel arch in the world. There were 30 senators in the first congress of the U.S. Capitol Memo Three Changes in Constitution Due On Oregon Ballot u By ZAN STARK Salem - lUPD - Oregon votiirs will cast ballots on three pro posed changes in the state's constitution next year. .Set for a vote at the May 15 pri mary election is a constitu tional change j auinonzing I :tn million in general obliga- siark uon Donets lor the higher education building program.. If voters approve the change, two already-approved laws take effect. One relates to the issuance of general obligation bonds by the State Board of Higher Education, and the other authorizes the board to spend up to $12 mil lion for buildings. The other two measures are set for the general election Nov. 3. One would remove mention of the death penalty from the state constitution. The con stitution presently sets the penalty for first degree mur der at death. Could Set Penalty By striking this language from the constitution, the legislature would be allowed by law to set whatever penalty it wished. The 1963 legislature ap proved a bill which sets the penalty for first degree mur der at life in prison, and ex tends to 10 years the mini mum sentence which must be served before parole can be considered. The new law takes effect If voters approve removal of the death penalty from the constitution. The other proposed consti tutional change deals with state leases. It would exempt leases not exceeding 20 years from the state debt limit. The attorney general has already assigned ballot titles and statements of purpose for the three proposals. Next will come the appoint ments of three committees, each made up of one senator and two representatives, who will draft a Voters' Pamphlet. The most controversial of the trio is the measure that would eliminate the death penalty in Oregon. The last time the issue was voted on-in 1958-the death penalty was retained by a 12,000-vote margin. The death penalty was out lawed once in Oregon. That was in 1014 when capital punishment was out lawed by a slim 157-vote margin. A series of bruial murders followed, and in 1920 the death penalty was rein stated by 17,000 votes. Forty persons have been hanged in Oregon, and 18 have been executed in the state's gas chamber.
