TORRENS TITLES
(sy Justice J. z. Rohinsen.)

other states, amounts to nothing. be-
cause 1T is not general and 1t lis too
expensive. It merely gives to every
owner Of land the right to an expen-
sive legal proceeding to quiet his til
tie to his own tract OF land. The re-
suit is that In Minnesota and in the
other states the Tbrrens titles are
are as scarce as white blackbirds. The
people know little or nothing OF them.
statute is of no benefit when it
merely gives to the landowner the
right to a civil action to establish his
title and to obtain O. certificate of
title by record. The procedure is too
expensive. Under a proper Torrens
title system there is a general adjudi-
cation of all titles. In a Doomsday or
title book, similar to a tract index
every transfer is noted on the book
and to each new owner there liz given
new certificate of title. And thus
the title is always new. clear, clean
and obvious, and a person may turn
to IT on the page of the title book as
readily as to word in the diction-
airy.
TO put the matter in practical form,
submit the following as an article
in the new forthcoming amended con-
situation OF 1917: H.
For the Torrsns land Title System.
Sec. 1. The legislative assembly
shall, by law, provide for general
adjudication of titles to all the lands
In the state, so it shall be done in the
most simple, effective and inexpensive
manner and so that to every owner
of land and his grantee there shall
be given q new certificate of title,
which shall. be in all respects equal
to new patent. That the title as
adjudicated, and every transfer shall
be entered in a title book, similar to
O. tract index, so that a person may
turn to it as readily as to a word in
the dictionary. -

This is proper time 10 discuss the
Iorfens system OF land titles as 1t
may come up for consideration by the
legislature this winter. Under this
system it is possible TO make titles TO
land transferable as readily as bank
per cent to the value of all the land
In the state, Under this system there
is an examination and adjudication of
land titles so as to give them a new
starting point, like a new patent. And
then a new certificate of title, or a
new patent, is given to each new
grantee or owner. To some extent
this system was used by William the
Conqueror about a thousand years
ago. He caused to be made a. book
of land titles and surveys known as
the "Doomsday Book" He caused
to be made a survey and plat or sur
vey of each plat of land in all Eng
land and caused the same to be en-
tered in proper order in the Doons-
day book, which was similar to our
tract index. 1t showed the descrip-
ton of each tract of land, the name of
the owner and lien holder A day was
fixed and heralded for the adjudica-
ton of all titles as registered in the
book. That was called Doomsday and
the book was called Doomsday book,
because the general adjudication was
as final and conclusive as the judg
ment to be given on the day when
Gabriel blows his trumpet.
And so under any effective system
there must be in each county one or
more Doomsday or title books, similar
to tract indexes, with one sweeping
and general adjudication of all titles
by the proper district court or course
that must be done under laws and un-
der a constitution specifically provid-
ing for it. The charge against each
tract of land should not exceed four
or five dollars. The Torrens system,
as it is in Minnesota and in most
