Then, it’s back to the Legislature for
more legislation to appropriate the

“The King Can Do No Wrong”
How could anybody ever say: “The
king can do no wrong?” (When we
know of kings who did do wrong.)
The idea looks simple: As absolute
law maker, the king could hold him-
self above his own law. He was un-
der no law and could therefore do no
legal wrong.
Anyway, when King George lost
the thirteen colonies, the American
states took over the doctrine of Sov-
ereign Immunity: Nobody can sue a
government agency without the
state’s permission, when the agency
is doing government work. (Of
course if the agency is doing “pro-
prietary functions” like running
street cars or making electricity, it
may often be sued much like any
other business.)
Thus suppose for lack of due care
a private bakery truck should harm
your child who had done nothing to
bring on the accident. Well then,
most likely you could sue the bakery
in the child’s behalf and collect dam-
ages.
But not with government agencies
unless the legislature gives you law-
ful permission.
Thus in the old days, if an army
jeep harmed your child, you could
collect only if Congress passed a spe-
cial bill awarding damages.
Recently this doctrine has been at-
tacked. Why shouldn’t the govern-
ment pay like any other organiza-
ata

Charles J. Campbell, district man-
aged of the Sherman social security
office, advised retiring workers to>
call on the social security adminis-
tration two or three months before
the date of retirement.
“Early application for the social
security benefits will enable us to at-
tend to the necessary details and
avoid a delay in the payment of the
first check,” he said.
“Claims for the retirement and,
family insurance payments require
some action before they can be certi-
fied to the treasury department for
payment,” according to Campbell.
“By filing early, payment can be
made soon after retirement.”
An applicant should bring some
evidence of his age and an earning
statement showing the amount of his
wages in the last year. The self-
employed person should furnish a
copy of his latest income tax return.
No appointment is necessary to file
a claim. The Sherman office of the
social security administration is lo-
cated at 300 East Houston street. The
office is open Monday through Fri-
day from 8:30 a. m. to 4:45 p. m.
permission, unless his claim falls
within some general category or
type previously recognized by our
lawmakers. During each session, the
Legislature passes legislation allow-
ing suits to be brought against the
state in a variety of cases.
Sometimes, however, suits may be
brought against individuals holding
office under the State of Texas and
acting as agents of the state, but
where the state itself is not the prin-
cipal party to the suit, without first
gaining consent to sue. There are
numerous situations in which an in-
dividual officer may be sued with re-
gard to the duties and functions of
his office, and in which the state is
not directly or substantially a part in
interest.
Suppose you do obtain legislative
permission to sue the state. What
Fifteen of every one-thousand
Texans were injured in traffic acci-
dents during 1959, the Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety reported today
in the release of its annual statistical
report booklet on motor vehicle acci-
dents.
In presenting the 1959 “fact book”
Col. Homer Garrison Jr., DPS direc-
tor, said that 2453 persons died in
traffic collisions in Texas during the
year 1959. He said death took a hol-
iday only one day, with Dec. 2 being
the state’s only motorcide free day.
The state’s worst tragedy of the year
he said was a two-car head-on col-
lision in Hidalgo County Feb. 15 kill-
ing 10 persons which occurred not far
from Alamo where the most disas-
trous traffic accident ever recorded
took the lives of 29 persons in 1940.
The statistical report was pre-
pared by department Statistician N.
K. Woerner who kept records on
more than 340-thousand accidents
during the year. The traffic acci-
dents occurred at the rate of one ev-
ery 92 seconds; a person was injured
every 4 minutes, and a person was
killed every 3 hours and 34 minutes.
In referring to the “death calen-
dar” as one of the most interesting
portions of the booklet, Garrison
pointed out that Nov. 14 was the most
deadly traffic day of the year with
24 persons killed in 8 fatal accident's.
He also said there were 23 days when
15 or more motorcides occurred.
Motorists traveled more, than 125-
million miles per day in Texas last
year. This rate jumped the year-
long total up five percent to an all
time high of 46,052,600,000 vehicle
miles.

So during the last war the federal
government in response to public
opinion passed a “tort liability” law.
It gives the people much, more power
to sue than before the last war. And
the courts much more often than
Congress now set the damages in
many kinds of cases.
In Texas, the Legislature by a
proper action may permit certain
general types of suits to be brought
against the state, under various con-
ditions and restrictions. Then, if a
specific situation arises which is not
covered by the general rules, the leg-
islators are authorized to pass a spe-
cial measure to permit suit to be
brought.
Therefore, any person seeking to
enforce a claim against the State of
Texas through the courts must peti-
tion the Legislature for the necessary
