ToTrens Law Needed
ElN

As times passes the need Of a
new land title law becomes more ard
mors apparent This winter the state
Legislature meets to consider legisla-
ton of more or less Importance bu-
the law outlined above gill by some
evasive means be kept from vote
unless pushed vigorously. No repre-
sentative or senator of any agricul-
tural state cares TO have his vote re-
corded against such a law; therefore
be acquiesses in an arrangement to
keep the Torren0 law from vote, il
bill is up before them Two years
lago Representative Adamson of
Blaine county and we editor carefully
prepared bill for the enactment of
such 4 law. 1t passed the house of
representatives only to be buried by
the "sifting committee" in the senate
headed as you may suspect by a
senator who had personal friends in
terested in the abstract business.
The transfer Of land or other prop
erty requiring an abstract of title
is now very cumbersome and expen-
.sive. Nor is it getting better. In
stead year by year, the transaction
calls for more red tape, more ex-
pense. The lawyer and abstractor
fatten on such things, and it is not
strange that, far from helping the
general public to simplify them, they
add to the cost by law processes and
many paged abstracts which are made
a mysterious thing requiring much
ability to correctly produce. The time
is near when the public in sheer dis
gust will rise and demand law that
will make land title, once established
good for all time.
From the trend of things in the
past, one cannot help but believe that
in the near future ten-volume abb
stract will be necessary to help the
matter the abstracter will embody in
title, and then to make sure of it, it
win have to pass battery Of lawyers
to hold good one year; the same pro-
cess to be repeated annually. Of
course tha reader will smile at such
an absurdity, but there is too much |
truth in the picture for joke. Hardly
a transaction in real estate is now
made but calls for expert help in un-
travelling it. And this is the case of a |
lawyer in Lewiston who rejected an
abstract he had made and approved
the year before. If the processes |
taken to quiet titles" were OF any |
help in quoting them, it would not |
be so bad, but titles become more and |
more unquieted and require more legal
soothing syrup in shape of money |
with passing year. The business is
one of the time-honored gratis which |
has fastened on the people and ac-
cepted with ox-like stupidity by them
as something essential, albeit very
burdensome. The truth is, it is
graft, and as such should be put out
Of business by law that will make
title, once settled, good forever, with
out any further expense, except on
further sales when small recording
fee should record a new title.
If the farmers, who will profit most
oy a Torrens law, would reach the
representatives and senators of their
districts with a unanimous demand
'or it, it would hardly be evaded, but

Deliberately travelling moving vans
do more than merely longest the

the movee. Sometimes they make
for romance. There was little or
no moving done into apartments
which had been vacant for more

which had been empty for longer
than that we're called flats, were
situated in non-English speak

Where Gold Failed

One man, who believed he knew
the main ingredients of the average
New York impasse, stormed into
the Office of a big moving and stor-
age company on West Sixty-sixth
Street.
II know it's a hold-upw he
shouted, exhibiting bullying roll.
"Take what you want, but for Gods
sake get me moved"
The size Of his wad and his sys-
TEN of reasoning ordinarily might
have afforded temptation, as an
officer of the storage company smil-
ingly admitted later. But had his
bankroll been as tall as the Mayors
high hat, with crown Of gold, his
mission at this particular Office still
would have len fruitless. All the
rolling stock Of this company was
working on q set schedule. So was
the rolling stock of all the com
panies that comprise the Van Own
ers' Association of Greater New
York, which takes in Manhattan and
The Bronx. These 5000 vans were
booked solidly at $40 hour. New
Workers were paying to this asso-
citation 100000 day for the priv
lege of being moved.
In his dilemma the exasperated
gentleman might have tried two
other sources. He had recourse to
the smaller moving companies, that
control some 5000 vans, and the
outlaws, who put into the field ap.
proximately 1000 trucks Of sorts
