Its Biennial Rcapportionment.

q VI member is pretty sure TO
f." introduce a bill in the Montana
legislature providing for he
Torrens system OF land transfer. In
1895 State Senator Chandler introduced
such a bill and IL died in committee.
In 1897. he reintroduced II. and IL passed
the senate and was killed in the house
At the coming session II may advance
another peg and pass both houses. The
claim used to be made that no satisfac-
tory Torrens law could be framed that
would stand the test of a states cons;i-
tuition. The supreme court Of Illinois
once Knocked out a Torrens law in
that state. but later another law was
passed and framed to meet the objec-
lions and the supreme court has up
held its constitutionaiity.
IL IL said that the law has many ad-
vantages and saves a lot OF money.
The Torrens system would do away for
ever with the necessity OF getting alb
stracts and lawyers opinions upon
them. The law as in operation in Il'-
nois. provides for the appointment or
election i'm each county Of a board ~
public examiners OF titles. The county
recorder Of deeds in each county would
become the register of titles. and when
a transfer Of a farm or lot was to be
made. the registrar OF the county in
which the land was situated would is
sue a certificate of ownership. when
the title is approved by the examiners,
who in their official capacity had lcok-
ed up the record Of the property and
then certified that the title was good
in the reputed owner. This certificate
of ownership. which would be as easy
OF transfer as a certificate of stock.
would then pass TO the buyer with the
transaction recorded on it's face. ard
also on the duplicate copy I'm the regis
trar's office All membranes end
tificate Inc on the duplicate. and no
mortgage not registered would stand
before the law. The advantages Of such
a system are obvious. The public ex-
aminers would do all the laboriaus
work of looking up titles once for all
time. and no repetition OF the labor
would be necessary. Transfers of real
estate would be simple. inexpensive.
and the purchaser would know at once
by the sellers certificate and the copy
in the registrars office just the title n
conditions Of hir purchase. The fees
paid to the lawyers for the work. the
confusion and intricac'es and legal ac-
tions now often the result OF the sim
plest sort OF transfers OF land. would
be done away with forever.
