RESTRICTIONS OF PRACTICES

For many years it has been GUS
tomary for real estate agents, notar-
les and others, who are not regularly
licensed as lawyers, to draw up deeds,
wills and other legal documents; but
recent enactment of our Legisla-
ture, which will go into effect next
month, is said to contain clause
which will bar this long-established
usage of unlicensed persons drawing
legal documents and charging fee
therefor.
The st. Louis Bar Association is
considering a plan offered by Alex
ander M. Robbins, editor Of the Cen
trail Law Journal, for an inquiry in
to the extent of the operations of UNI
licensed practitioners in this city.
Robbins said yesterday that the
plan was prompted by the recent ag-
itation against unlawful practice of
law"
Section 1872 of the Banking Act, re-
Gently announced, provides that trust
companies shall not act as executors
under any will drawn by a salaried
employe of such trust compay. Ev-
cry will appointing trust company
as executor must contain statement
to the effect that the testator chad
advise of counsel in relation thereto
from one not under salary from said
corporation"
Robbins declared these laws will
mean more work for the law schools,
as the large real estate firms now
have use for employees duly trained
ard licensed to practice law

WHO REALLY OWNS MISSOURI
LANDS?
Professor of Law at University Of
Missouri Says Land Holder is
Tenant Of State.

Does Missouri farmer really own
his own land? If he holds clear til
tie, does the law look upon him as
the owner of the land, or does it look
upon the State as the owner and the
farmer as the tenant? These ques-
tons are treated in a recent bulletin
upon "Land Tenure and Conveyances
in Missouri" by Marley 0. Hudson,
Professor of Law at the University
at Columbia. Professor Hudson gives
history of land ownership in Mis-
souri,, concluding that no land in Mis-
souri, is really owned except by the
State, and that person holding til
tie to farm is really tenant of the
State.
Several hundred years ago in Eng
land, the King owned all land, owner
ship of land being royal prerogative.
The king parceled out his land to his
subjects who held Il by what was
known as tenure. The tenant some
times rendered military service to the
owner or lord, and sometimes only
agriculture service. This system of
land holding still prevails in legal
theory in England.
A similar situation existed in the
American colonies under British do
minion, and it is the accepted view
that all land was held in tenure prior
to the American Revolution. This
system ow land holding was not chang
ed by the Revolution except that the
respective States were substituted
for the British crown as overlords.
In the territory acquired by the
Louisiana Purchase this problem of
legal theory is not 80 easily solved
The territory which is not Missouri
was owned by France prior to 1852
by Spain between l7G2 and 1902, again
by France from 1902 to 1903, wher
it was ceded to TIE United States
Professor Hudson concludes that dur
ing these various periods the lant
was held by the Preach and Spanish
crowns respectively. He traces the
history of the Spanish law which pre-
vailed in Missouri until 1916 ant
shows that it included a system Of
land tenure somewhat similar to that
which prevailed in England.
TIE Legislature q Missouri abolish
ed the Spanish law in 1916 and sub
stituted the so-called common law o.
England. By the common law o.
England, as is shown above, land wal
held of the crown. Mr.. Hudson con
cludes, therefore, that land in Mis-
souri, today is really owned by tn
State and held by the person who ha
the title, either because of the system
of tenure in the Spanish law or be
cause of the adoption of the common
law Of England in 1916.
Mr.. Hudson says that the court
anc lawyers seem 70 nave asSuhieu
without much discussion of the sub
iect, that tenure did not find its wa!
into Missouri law. His conclusion
shows that in many respects our Law
is still based on medieval conceptions
Many States have by constitutions
amendment or legislative enactment
abolished this feudal conception o
land tenure and Professor Hudson be
lieves that if his conclusion is right
the law in Missouri should be chang
ed by constitutional amendmen
which would declare that land cal
really be owned by the person VIII
has the title.

GEN. V. HUERTA GOES TO
START A NEW MILITARY
MOVEMENT IN MEXICO
Bound for FL Paso, Accom-
panied by Former Mill
tary Commanders.


Washington. June 26.--Oficial news
Of the severe defeat Of the Carranza
forCes advancing on Mexico City was
quite overshadowed in interest today
by the announcements from both the
Carranza and Villa agencies here that
a large party Of Huerta adherents,
former military commanders and
legislators are en- route 70 II Paso,
presumably with the intention Of
starting a new military movement.
The villa agency's announcement
said IL had an inverted report that
General Huerta q in the party. No
veri6cation Of that was received to-
night In any quarter, however. Huerta
left New York for the west last We'd
nesday and IL was reported he Is
bound for San Francisco.
Both the Villa and CarTsnza
agencies indicated in their announce
ments that they expected the United
States would use It's influence 20 pre-
vent the former federals entering
Mexico. II is regarded as probable in
some quarters that the Huerta ad-
herent's action might bring the villa
and Carranza factions together.
