TORRENS TITLES
by Justice J. z. Robinsen.)

other states, amounts to nothing, be-
cause it is not general and II is too
expensive, 1t 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.
A 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 q tract index
every transfer is noted on the book
and to each new owner there is 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 a 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: =
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 ana inexpensive
manner and SO that to every owner
of land and his grantee there shall
be given a 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
a. tract index, so that a person may
turn to it as readily as to a word in
the dictionary. - ,

This is proper time TO discuss the

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
STOCK, and thereby to add about five
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 new
starting point, like a new patent. And
then q new certificate Of title, or
new patent, is given to each new
grantee or owner. To some extent

the book was called Doonlsday book,
because the general adjudication was
as final and conclusive as the judg-
ment to be given on the day when

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. OF course
that must be done under laws and UNI
