a BOUNTY ON SILK cooooxs.

Senator George NJ. Cannon has intro
duced a bill into the legislature pro-
viding for the granting of a bounty on
silk cocoons produced in Utah. The
bill does not carry a very heavy appro-
priation, but why the necessity for
any appropriation? Silk can be raised
in Utah at a profit. or it cannot. For
years there has been silk factory in
this city and it has got along without
state aid. But MI Cannon's bill does
not contemplate state aid to the manu-
facturers of silk; it contemplates aid to
those who raise the worms, being so
much per pound on the cocoons, pro-
vided the worms are fed exclusively
on mulberry leaves. Mulberry srees
grow and thrive as well in Utah as
anywhere, and as fine quality of silk
is no question whether this is so or not;
the experiments have been made and
were a pronounced success. And all
this not recently, but nearly thirty
years ago They were made on the
largest scale not far from where Mr..
Cannon now resides, in fact on the
very farm out of which Forest Dale
was created The silk raised there and
elsewhere in the state was equal to
the very best imported article. So GOOD
was it that it became famous for its
quality. The old Frenchman who was
in charge Of the silk worms on Forest
farm came from the district near Ly-
ons, and knew all about the silk in
dustry as he knew his native tongue.
Nor was he of the peasant class; ne
was a man of education and a stu
dent. 1t was his opinion that Is good
silk could be raised in Utah as in
France, China or Japan. No doubt
Mr.. Cannon is familiar with all these
facts, and, being so. it is singular that
he deems a bounty on silk cocoons
necessary to encourage the Iilk in
dustry. IL the raising of silk cocoons
can be made to pay, it needs no boun-
ty, while no amount of bounty can
make it pay if it is not suited to the
soil and climate of the state

THE TORRENs LAW.

The Torrens land law has been adopt
ed in Illinois and though it's constitu-
tionality is challenged and not yet
passed upon in that state still very
many have confidence that the courts
will uphold it and are accordingly max
ing registry of their lands and city real
estate according to its provisions A
leading Chicago paper states that the
first transfer of property in Cook
county, Illinois. under the new system
was made on Monday last and from
the description given of that transac-
ton it certainly does look as though
the system lays the foundation for
simplicity in land transfers that must
commend it to universal acceptance.
The transfer" says the account re-
ferred to, was made with as little
trouble as is involved in the sale of a
piece of merchandise. The seller when
registering his land with Registrar
Chase paid SIS for the examination of
the title to date, 81 for the certificate
and Sc to the indemnity fund required
by law. These charges will not have
to be met again in the case of this piece
of property. The buyer received the
certificate and paid So as the fee for
having the transfer entered upon the
registrars books. He holds now an
absolute and guaranteed title. No law
yers' services were needed, nor is the
buyer exposed to danger of loss
through any neglect or ignorance on
the part of an attorney. The whole
cost of the transfer was So instead of
from $25 to 500 for examination of the
abstract. as would have been the case
under the old system. The purchaser
feels no need to insure his title by pay
ing fee to some title guarantee COM
pany because the state itself approves
and defends his ownership
Whatever objections may be urged
against this system of land transfers
the simplicity of it and the surety Of
it as described above is very desirable;
and it is to be hoped that whatever
imperfections that now attach to the
Torrens system that make it incom-
patible with constitutional provisions,
if it is SO Incompatible, may be re-
moved that land transfers may be re-
lieved from the present inconvenience
that attend upon them.
