WITH THE NATIONAL GUARD.

Some Of the Iowa troops are coming
home and likewise some Of the troops
that constitute the militia in other
states. What will be the effect of this
experience upon the National Guard? ?
Will the men get out of the military
service as soon as they can, never to
enlist again? Or will this sad disturb

Already the debate Is on as between
advocates of compulsory military SER
vice and the friends of the National
Guard. The one class is cocksure that
no man from private life is going to
enlist in the reserves and hazard any
such experience as has befallen the
National Guard this year. Others con-
tend that this same claim was ad-
vanced at the close of the Spanish
American war and it was true that

THE ToRRBNs SYSTEM.

DeS NhoAitS ANtS iStSA.J
An organization such as Senator
Doran's taxpayers league can perform
effective service for the state If it will
show discrimination in what II under
takes, and focus its attention Upon es-
seEtials ~ 90
The league has found matter
worthy of attention when II pro-
poses change in the land title system
OF the state. and Endorses the Torrens
plan,
There are two effects of the Forrens
land title system which mean an eco
nomic saving. but which may oe con-
sidered objections They Are:
1t will cut down the work of lawyers
1t will practically remove the occupa-
tion of abstracte
BY the same token, il will make land
titles, easy to look after, and less ex-
pensiye to those who are buying or
selling land, ~
Adoption of the Torrens plan has
been attempted in the past. but the
objections which have been raised by
abstractors have been sufficient to pre-
vent action. 1t ia difficult for mem
Der Of the Legislature to pass law
which he knows will remove the life
occupation of two or three of his
friends, even If that occupation is to-
tally unnecessary. What is needed Is
clearer view of the fact that men who
are engaged in unnecessary work are
being supported by the community
when they ought to be doing something
of value.
The fTorrens system Will not be
adopted in Iowa unless some aggressive
body gets back of it and urges the leg
islature to act. There is the usuali
inertia to overcome, and a strong adj
