Samson Ala. May 26.-Mr. D. P
Folsom, The Journal man, was here

The Torrens System
of Land Titles.

Occasionally some state newspaper
refers to the Torrens system of land
titles and asks If it would be a good
thing for Florida. 1t is in use in sew
eral states of the Union and in nodi-
fed way in several other states. All
the evidence on record goes to show
tried
In brief, the TorTens system is q
method whereby the state examines for
once and for ali time, the title to land
and thereafter the state stands as
guarantor of this title.
1t must be admitted that land titles
in Florida are not always clear and the
present system, Including the tax title
arrangement now in vogue is bulky,
comp,icating and apt to lead to tangles,
embarrassments and litigation, almost
without end. On the face of things it
would seem that the adoption of some
such plan would be great step for
ward in Florida. 1t would not only IA
cilitate sales and loans but would be
good piece of advertising for investors
from the North and northwest, who
are focking this way. It would pro-
tect these investors against fraud with
out compelling them to pay an exorbi-
tant fee for an examination of titles.
The Torrens system would be a basis
also for a more liberal farm loan
policy by the banks and this is some
thing that is being universally de-
manded by farmers organizations. The
only objections that are likely to be
raised to the system is likely to come
from the lawyers, who not only get a
large, steady revenue from examining
titles but still larger income from
conducting suits arising from question
able titles.
Anyway, the Torrens system Is wei
worth careful consideration.

ton of Mexico would have to be
changed and a vote of the people of
Lower California taken. But in these
days of big finance what does a con-
stitution matter?
The story goes that when this deal
is made, agitation for the annexation
of the peninsula to the United States
will begin.
There has been q feeling for some
time, stronger than a suspicion, that
many of the Mexican revolutions and
comic opera wars, have been brought
on at the instigadon of American cap
italists. Probably this proposed deal
is one of these schemes Should Huerta
stand in the way of a big land trade
it would be easy to start another revo-
luton and depose Huerta-

THE FAKE MONEY OF ITALY

.0F all the so called Great Powers,
~ Italy has the most unstable and most
unsatisfactory currency. Not alone is the
exchange subject to fuctuation (that is
true, in greater or less degree, of the cur
rency of every country, but there is
great mass of counterfeit and worthless
money floating about the country for the
undoing of the unwary. In the first place,
the engraving on the paper money is of in
ferior quality, and hence easy of imitation;
secondly, there are so many worthless or
doubtful coins in circulation that the temp
tation to add to their number is not easily
resisted.
Like some of our own paper money, the
Italian is allowed to remain in circulation
until disgracefully dirty and nearly obliter
counterfeit or genuine. To add to the con-
fusion, French silver is generally accepted,
while the coins of Switzerland, Belgium, and
Greece, although officially recognized, are,
as rule, refused in commerce. Numerous
papal and Rumanian coins are still in clrcu
lation; although valueless and accepted only
by unwary foreigners, whom the Italians re-
gard as fair prey
In addition, none of the large number of
one-lira pieces coined before 1868 can be
passed, although intrinsically of equal value
with those of later date, since the period
arbitrarily fixed for their redemption has
passed and the government refuses to ac-
cept them further. Under this caption fall
all coins bearing the head of Victor En-
manuel and the word "eletto" C'elected y
on the face.
The Italians possess a mania for mutllat
ing and perforating the five and ten-centes-
imo copper coins; but, owing to their small
denomination, this usualaa.y acts as no bar to
their acceptance.
"Oh. it's half good" is often heard from
some philosophical storekeeper, as he tosses
a doubtful coin into the till. Indeed the
traveller is constantly reminded of Korea,
the classical country of counterfeits, with
its complicated scale of descending money
values, which are good, half good. bad, and
Evening star., 1913-04-06

counterfeits that are good only after dark.
But let the foreign visitor who has served
as a clearing house for worthless money be-
ware of entertaining the fallacy that the
rule is capable of inverse application. Like
the legendary memory of elephants is that
of the Italian cabby or retail merchant, lead
ing him to pursue through storm and dark
ness the man or woman who has passed
worthless coin into his keeping. On one oc-
casion l was tracked even to the dinner
table of friends and forced to redeem
doubtful ten-centesimo piece 1.-TWO cents
which l had inadvertently offered as tip.
Instead of seeking to strengthen the basis
of the countrys paper and silver money, the
government adopted the very measure cal
culated still further to debase the currency
in the public mind. According to the ruling
of the postoffice authorities, all money
orders must be purchased with gold, silver
and paper being refused. Owing, however,
to the premium at which gold is held by the
banks, this results in considerable loss to
those sending money in this manner, and
often also to great inconvenience after bank
ing hours.
To accentuate the inconsistency of the
country's refusal officially to recognize its
own currency, it need only be mentioned
that the amount of Italian gold in existence
is a negligible quantity, and that the ruling
results in forcing those patronizing the post
office to purchase French gold.
Justly angered by this inconsistency, on
one occasion l relieved my feelings in the
presence of the official who had refused the
offer of Italian paper money by sarcastic
reference to the nonexistence of native gold
coinage. The resultant indignant search
through his money drawer failed to reveal
single Italian gold piece, although it resulted
nearly in an attack of apoplexy brought on
by patriotic wrath.
The application of my little article is this:
Are not these conditions in the home land
responsible for the frequency with which
Italians of low class in America are caught
counterfeiting our Uncle Samuel's silver
ware?
