siMpi,rr ouu LAND laws

The LONG fight for the simplification OF
our land title laws should be ended to-
day. when the Senate takcs up for con-
sidcration the Torrcns law bill which
has already received the approval of
the House. 1t should be ended with the
prompt passage o: the measure
Without cost 10 the state or to the
localities. the extremely complicated
system whereby exchange OF land
titles Is now made can be made rs
simple ard "a easy almost as the sale
OF cattle. The bill leaves the adoption
OF the system TO the viii OF the coun-
ties. ana does not make II compulsory
throughout the State. Any locality
which for my reason may desire the
retention OF the present cumbersome
system can retain it. and those which
desire the adoption OF the Torrcns sys-
tcrn can adopt it. In essence It Is n
local bill. and those who believe their
localities DO rot want the system can
vote for this bill with the assurance
that they do not have TO adopt It, On
thc other hand, those counties which
do desire 70 put It into operation will
ne allowed 20 do SO. we can see no
reason even for debate ON The question
under thcsc conditions. Its local
nature should preclude opposition
