If we continue the present method
and we will have 10 do so unless we
amend the state constitution, of loan
ing the school fund on real estate we
will run into extreme danger of los
ing lot Of that fund unless we had a
very certain system such as the Tor
rens' Land System would afford us.
We need the system in Oklahoma foy
that reason more than any other. For
another reason the titles are young
that Is, transfers have been made but
short time. we could start out issu-
Ing certificates upon the three million
acres of school lana and by, that
means start big heavy acreage under
the system at practically no expense.
We could take the allotted lands and
do the same way so there would BE-
absolute certainty as to their title and
within a generation every piece of
land in the state would be carried
into the court and its title cleared up
by itself when the school fund being
loaned upon that would thus be pro.
