Editor'! note: The follow
ing article wai prepared by
the Oregon State Bar and is
not intended to be legal ad

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

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.

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.
