The Torrens system has been intro
duced in practically all Of the Cana
dian provinces and in nearly all of
them registration Is compulsory as
to all lands sold by the crown and
voluntary as to all other lands. In
some districts more than 80 per cent
of all lands are registered.
In the United States the state Of
Illinois was the first to adopt the sys-
tenn by the passage Of the Torrens
title bill in 1896. This act was de-
clared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court on the ground that 1t
conferred judicial powers on the reg
istrar, who Is a ministerial officer. 1t
was amended in 1897 in such a way
as to remove the constitutional OBJ
jections and under the county local
option provision Of the bill has been
in force in Cook county, which in
cludes Chicago, ever since. The hold
ing of the court in this Illinois case
has made 1t necessary in this country
that the procedure in initial registra-
ton should be had in court, though
several cases have held that sub
sequent registration may be made by
the registrar. In any questionable
act, however, he must report the mat
ter to the court for its decision.
Other states which have adopted
the system are California (1S9O,
Massachusetts (1S9S), Minnesota
:(1sO1), Colorado (1so3), Washington
(1s07). New York 1s0S). Express
idept Taft, when governor Of the Phil
ippines, introduced the system in the
islands in 1902, following largely the
Massachusetts, law, making 1t COM
pulsory as to all public lands sold by
the government and voluntary as to
all other lands. The system was In
troduced in Hawaii in 1908.
The acts which have been adopted
in this country generally contain a
local option provision by which the
act becomes operative in a county or
district only upon favorable vote of
the people Of the county at an elec-
ton in which the question is sub
mitted. In all the states the system
exists side by side with the present
system and registration is, so far, vol
untary as to all lands, 1. e., the owner
may have his land registered or not
as he sees fit. What progress has
been made by the system has been
made on its merits, and In spite OF
the organized and strenuous opposi-
ton Of abstract and title guarantee
companies.-Prof. George McCutch-
con.
