LAND TITLES.
W.-The New England
States.
By Frederick J. Haskin.

The struggle for freedom to hold and
dispose of land titles in the middle
and south Atlantic states was directed
by the people against the crown Of
England as a proprietor. or against
individuals holding as proprietors un-
der the crown.
In New England the struggle was
against the crown as a political force.
and in defense of rights which had
been assumed by the people from the
time Of settlement
If allodial titles exist anywhere in
the United States they are those in
took to divide among themselves the
lands on which they settled. and their
subsequent efforts were directed to the
prevention of the vesting of claims
conflicting with this basis Of title.
rather, as in the other colonies. than
to the task Of dispossessing proprietors
claiming under a paper title.
I The first grant by the crown of Eng
land in New England was made by
James I to the Duke of Lenox and
others. This was in 1906, and the form
of the grant followed that Of the first
ton and not to an Individual proprie-
tor or proprietors as came to be the
later practice.
In 1929. the Plymouth Company, Or
ganized to operate under this grant,
made its first
William Bradford subgrant to
Gets First Subgrant. tord ''i % and nd
others. who formed the Plymouth col
ony in Massa chusetts. This colony had
then been seated in Massachusetts for
eight years under a general territorial
permission from the company, and took
the patent as an assurance Of the land
titles in the colony which had then
been established and which were not
altered by any proceedings under the
patent. The members of the Plymouth
colony had made an agreement cover
ing the details of government and the
use of land while they were still on
shipboard Their first effort was to
use the land in common. but this failed
and division of real property was
made by mutual agreement. and this
division remains as the basis Of title.
The second grant made by the Ply
mouth corporation was that to the COL
ony under John Endicott which settled
first at Salem, subsequently establish
ed Boston and was the real nucleus of
the Massachusetts and Connecticut set
Elements. The terms of this grant re-
English corporation. The people re-
versed this proposition very shortly
after landing and decided to elect their
own officers.
The basis of title in the Salem and
Boston of Bay colony was a division,
practically by consent of the colonists
and under the direction of elected Of
ficials, of lands in each plantation
among qualified voters or freeholders.
Each plantation was assigned definite
limits and the land included was later
established as township. Besides the
lands which were set of to the freeholders
in severalty, there was a considerable
amount of land in each township which
was held in common and for the COM
mon use, such as for pasturage, wood
cutting, etc. AS new settlers came
in there was an attempt made to ex-
ciude them from participation in
similar division and in the common
rights, but this was unsuccessful and
subsequent allotments had to be made
from common lands to later comers.

| title according to various compromises
| upon the establishment of state forms
of government.
Long before the American revolution
the crown Of England had given up
] hope of being able to establish feudal
restraints on the land in Massachusetts,
| The futility of the attempt was shown
by the experience of James II. On COM
| ing to the throne, he sent Gov. Andros
| to Massachusetts to attempt to put into
practice the principles of law which
had been established in the New York
| colony under the proprietorship OF
| James as the Duke of York. Andros
| was given orders to set up a personal
grant land to such persons as he might
choose. His authority was short-lived.
| and he was sent back to England by
| the people Of Massachusetts charged
| with high misdemeanors.
| BY the charter Of 1892. granted by
| William and Mary, the successors of
James, all owners of real estate in
| Massachusetts were confirmed in their
holdings. Inc grant oI tlt1e was IN ltS
| highest form. that of free and common
socage by fealty only. the only reser-
walton beyond allegiance to the SOW
| ereign being that all pine trees of .
diameter of twenty-four inches or more

navy.

AS the company was unable to enforce
it's government in New England, it
surrendered it's charter to the crown,
but even the latter had little success
in securing a revenue from the lands Of
the Massachusetts, colonists.
After the surrender Of the charter to
the crown. an extensive grant was
made within its former limits to Sir
the state of Maine, and was one of the
incidents to the highly complicated
condition of land titles which has ex-
listed in that state. The colony of Mas
sachusetts claimed Maine under rights
which had vested while the original
patent was still in existence. There
were also claims founded on the titles
derived from the French settlement in
Maine and from Pophams settlement
on the Kennebec in 1908. Massachu-
setts was also disposed, in order to
embarrass the grantees of the crown,
to recognize titles derived from Indian
tribes, and SO many andso varied coun-
ter claims were urged to the assertion
Of the rights of Gorges that his pro-
prietorship was almost wholly fruit

Elastic Platform.

The Baltimore democratic national
platform, as now interpreted by the
Wilson faction of the party, is very
conveniently elastic platform.
1t declared against ship subsidies and
in favor of free toll for coastwlse ships
through the Panama canal.
On this platform, the party was Civ
en- control of the government and the
democratic house proceeded to carry out
the declar,ion in favor of free tolls.
President Wilson concludes for reas-
ons best known to himself, that he does
not want free tolls law and orders the
repeal of the law and the democratic
statesmen, who in convention had de-
clared for free tolls and had voted for
the enactment of such a law, immedi-
atclo repudiate their party declaration
and action and vote for the repeal and
offer as their justification for such &C.
ton their party declaration against sub
sides They, in the campaign, did not
explain to the voters this conveniently
elastic feature of their party platform
for it was a platform to ''get in" on
and not to stand on after getting in.
