A Despotic Law.

most UBIQUITOUS laws ever placed
upon the statute books OF any State
supposed to be governed by the
principles Of liberty and opposed
to class legislation. 1t is nothing
more than robbery under the form
Of Law. It compels man to whom
the institution Of the United States
guarantees life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness, to pay = tax be-
fore he can engage in an avocatlon
to prolong his life and promote bis
happiness. 1t is IA absolute viola
ton OF the Constitution OF the
United States, which says: mo
State shall make or enforce ANY law
which shall abridxe the privileges
Of immunities Of citisens of the
United States" II the occupation
tax" does not ABRDGE the priv
ieges Of, citizens Of the United
States, We would be glad to have
some astute lawyer tell 10 wherein
it does not. It compels = man to
pay for the privilege" Of earning
his living. II such law was en-
forced IN Russia We would not be
surprised at it; but in this country

Law to Make Land Titles
Available as Col
lateral.

I A bill will be presented at the
next session of the Legislature
which will SO change the system Of
registration of land titles lnI4on
isiana as to make real estate as
easily available for collateral as
stocks and bonds.
1t Is claimed for the new system
that it would greatly facilitate
financial transactions, and would
assist in the industrial development
of the State. 1t Is known as he
Torrens system of land registra-
ton. ~
At the last session of the Legis.

ibis Commission met at the
Supreme Court building, with all
the members present, save Senator
Murphy.
The whole plan was gone over.
The fundamental principal in the
Torrens system of land registra'
ton is to provide system Of reg
lstration of land title3 whereby all
titles so registered shall be incon'
trovertible. The system had lis
origin in Australia. Since then 1t
has been adopted IN many countries
and IN several States of the United
States, including Illinois, Cali.
lorna, Colorado, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Oregon, Hawaii aud
the Philippine Islands.
Three rough drafts of proposed
bills were submitted at the meet.

iects were referred to MIR. Herman,
with instructions to draft an &C,
combining the salient and bes,
} features Of all three projects and

at the Supreme Cour: rooms.
"rhe object of this BILL" ex.
planned Mr.. Herman, last night.
"would be to make land in Lou:si'
ana a quick asset. Whenever
title is admitted to registration
under this act, a certificate ls issued
to the owner, which will be easily
handled as collateral security,
making real estate as available fol

CHANGE In PROGRAM.
Taking in Of the Bonus Localities

in beginning Work, or Else
Change as to the Innitial Point.

Baton Rouge LIS. January pa
William C. Dufour, Vice Presi-
dent Of the Baton Rouge, Ham
mond and Eastern Road WAS in the
city to day in company with H. c.
Allen, one Ut the engineers OF the
road, en- route to Livington Parish,
whore they go in connection With q
change OF the line Of the road in
that parish, so as to take in the
towrs that voted special taxes to
the Company.
MI. Dufour said the work would
begin within the next twenty days
upon the construction Of the line
at the Hammond end, and would be
pushed toward this city. 1t was
the original. intention to begin the
construction work at Baton Rouge
and carry it toward Hammond, but
the altering OF the plans is neces.
sary, because Of the change in the
route at this end, which it will take
more than thirty days to complete.
'The road between Baton Rouge
and Hammond vii. be in operation
by December /, 1906" said Mr..
Dufour, land the construction will
probably be done BY the Kenefick'
Hammond. Quigley- Company, which
is now building the Colorado
Southern and New Orleans Pacific
although the two roads are sepa
rate. The contract for the eros.
ties has been let, and they are being
cut now 10 Livingston Parish, whil'
the contract for the rails was lie
some time ago."
Mr.. Dufour confirmed the repor
that the road intended to build t.
