LAND TRANSFER REFORM.

REPRESENTATIVE Green, o. Grumpy
county, viii attempt to substitute the
Torrens land system for the present
Iowa system of land transfers. The
system. he explains provides that any
owner of any estate, legal or equitable.
may apply TO have his title registered
that no lesser estate shall be regis
tered and that it shall be no objection
to the registration of land that the
registration or interest Of the appli-
plicant is subject 10 any outstanding
lesser estate.
The law creates an indemnity fund
TO indemnify any person who may be
injured by any of it's provisions and by
errors made in registry proceedings.
In an interview Mr.. Green admitting
that the Torrens system destroys the
business of the abstractor says:
For over thirteen years the sys-
TEN has been in active operation in
Cook county, Illinois. and despite a
strenuous opposition. aided by the
private interests with ample funds
available for that purpose, il has mad
steady, constant and healthy growth
which of late plds fair to reach very
large proportions. and thousands OF
tracts and parcels Of land. aggregat-
! ing in value over $4,000 900, many o
which involved complicated and intri-
cate titles, have been registered under
| the system. In all these proceeding!
| no person has ever been deprived o
any just and valid property right, NJ
one has been harmed or injured, not
single effort has been made TO Sc
aside decree of registration with tn
| exception of a few innocent lax It'll
! men, and no appeal has ever been tax
en- or writ of error sued out, and no
one dollar has ever been paid out o
| the indemnity fund
The public records are experience
ing the cumbersome, slow and ex
pensive methods of examining titles
not once for all. but over and owe
again. and some relief must be had
and this system covers the Who'll
! field of trouble now experienced Ii
land titles.
This system does not provide an
compulsory features IN the law, wit
one exception, but to allow the syster
to be gradually introduced and tn
public educated and informed as to tn
benefits to be derived from it and a
to the manner of using it."
The complicated and expensive sys
TEN Of transferring land is sooner O
later to be reformed. 1t is not likel
that the Torrens system will be sub
stituted by this Legislature though
might make the change to general ad
vantage. But some reform Of the sys
TEN is certain to be brought abou

LARGE FARMS DO NOT PAY.
[Boone News Repu oIican.J

Boone News EepuclcaH.J
1t is very apparent shat landlord
ism on large scale does not pay in
Iowa The big farm is fast disap-
pearing, being divided up into smaller
ones. with each man taking care OF
as many acres of his own AS possible.
This comment Is called forth by the
gradual disintegration OF the large
Wheeler farm in Sac county. Mr..
Wheeler. who was once candidate
for governor. formerly owned s.ooo
acres Eight thousand acres Ia lot
of land and represents great amount
of capital, yet this amount OF land In
one farm Is apparently the poorest in
yestment man can make. Mr.. Wheel
er lost his farm trying to farm 1t and
he was succeeded by man named
Cook, who has now given up trying to
farm it altogether and is selling 1T out
in small portions at $500 10 $3.50 per
acre.
Isn't II strange that in Iowas main
industry the smaller the capital the
better things work? There have been
a number OF these large farms in the
state and the amount Of energy ex-
pended to make them pay would have
made millionaires in other lines Of
| work. The main trouble seems to
| be that 1t is impossible to get farm
labor cheap enough to warrant the
system Of landlordisn and tenantry.
over in the old country tenants OF
large estates apparently barely ex-
| list. but in this country man who
works, demands good round days
| pay and he isn't obliged to stay on
the farm, either, II the boss gets too
lexacting. Therefore the only way to
farm in Iowa Is to own or lease about
$50 acres IL you have good sized
family. or eighty acres Il you are
alone and attend strictly to the job
Farming that is dependent on hired
service to a large extent, is not sue
| cessful in Iowa.
