RYDER WANTS IT THOROUGH
The Jacobson resolution from the
house. declaring for an investigation
of the state grain inspection depart
ment and the prison Irvine plant, was
favorably reported from the commit
tee on agriculture.
Senator Ryder, of Polk, said that
while it was his disposition to vote for
the resolution, he wished it understood
that the investigation was to be a
thorough one, and he and his neighbors
in the Red River valley expected to
bring witnesses and documents from
that country to justify the inquiry.
After an amendment was attached
making it consist Of five members of
the house and three from the senate,
the resolution was passed.
TORRENS LAND TITLES.
The initial step toward the adoption
of the Torrens system of land titles
was taken. Senator Wilson, of Hen
nepin (ReD), had taken up the Tor
rens plan. and after two years search
the committee had reported that the
system necessitated the taking of pri-
Vate property without right. Illinois
supreme court, however. had sustained
the Torrens plan, and Massachusetts
had since passed a Torrens bill which
he had looked up, and it was appar-
ent to him that the task imposed on
the attorney general was greater than
he could accomplish in the time given
him.
Senator Greer Rep), of Wabasha,
said that the law had been declared
demonstrations in 1892 and the con-
stitutional objections had not been
removed as yet.
Senator MCGOWAN Oem.), of henne-
pin said he did not take much stock
in the reports of comm ssions, and this
with all due respect to Senator Greer.
who had been a member of the COM
mission of 1891 and 1892. The work
OF this commission, he said, had been
superficial. Under the bill on which
it went to work, it understood that
its field was limited to discussion
and investigation of the plan in SIM
pie. Since then the system had been
developed, and, as in the states named
by Gen. Wilson. the constitutional
objections had been removed. He had
no objection to the extension of the
time, if it was deemed necessary, but
he did want a bill passed. He with
drew the resolution to modify it, call
ing for an immediate opinion as to
the constitutionality of the law. The.
new resolution was then adopted.
The committee on legislative eX-
pointment of Gladys F. Anderson and
Hulda Hermine, stenographers of the
senate. The report was adopted.
MUST REPEAL IT ALL.
Senator Stockwell wanted unanimous
consent for the immediate passage of
his bill, striking one section out of the
act which incorporated the village of
Excelsior, Hennepin county but, as
the constitution forbids the amendment
of any special law. the bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee.
Senator Benedict Rep)- Of Blue
Earth, presented resolution appoint
ing C. B. Robinson clerk of several
committees.
Senator DAILY Pop), of Otter Tail,
introduced a joint resolution to me-
moralize congress to present a con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people. 1t was passed without
debate.
