. , THE ? OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 28. 1909. DOES NOT 'HUT TO TIE OP-PUIIT California Barrel Company Commences Suit Against Cooperage Company. SEES REMEDY IN One Feature of Rose Show Benefit TORREHSSYSTEM Law Would , Put Stop to Fraudulent Transfers -of Property. Tn the opinion. of R. C. Wright, fraud ulent transfer of property would be obviated by the observance of the Tor rens law. He believes If that law were In force In Oregon there could be no forged deeds filed for record and no person defrauded of tils property, in dlscussinir the aublect. he says: "A short time ago the grand Jury was investigating tne rorgery 01 a. u" which had been recorded In. the public records of thin cuuntv. This could not have happened If the title had been reg istered under the Torrens law. If this had been done, Mr. Fields would have had the receipt of the last owner on file in his office, bearing his genuine signature, when, he receivea mo cerxiu cate of title from the registrar. Whan that- owner made a deed or was sup posed to have made a deed. It became the- duty of Mr. Fields to compare the Hlgnature of the rightful owner with the deed offered, and if It appeared to be wrong, he could demand further proof of Its genuineness before receiving the deed, "The law provides that when the reg istrar delivers a certificate or any pa per to a person, relating to a registered piece of land, he must take that per son a signature made In his presence, ana he may renulre hie Identification if un known. The owner may also sign the receipt before two witnesses and have it auiy acknowledged, 11 ue is noi con veniently near the courthouse, thus making the matter not one of burden to him, while protecting his title from fraudulent entries. "Under the present system, no ques tions are asked when a deed or mort gage is presented, if It Is signed, wit nessed and acknowledged as required by law. Then when recorded, the instru ment la returned to . the party who brought It In and the original signa tures upon It disappear, and If a charge of forgery Is made, the Instrument could not be had as evidence In court. From the copy of it In the mass of books, nothing could be determined. If the forged Instrument could be had, no doubt a clue to the forger would bo dis covered. L'nder the Torrens law, the original dead Is filed and kept always on hand tn the vaults of the public rec ords, and If It should be forged, it is there as Indrtmlnatlng evidence. These safeguards, practically do away with the forgeries, or tf made, the chances for the criminal to escape detection are much less. "The old system Is simply piling up the records of deeds and mortgages un til acres of vault room will be needed to kepp them, and they are only Inferior copies, made evidence by law, nothing more. The original deed Is the instru ment whloh conveys the land and which should be kept as a public record. The charge was made that undoubtedly other forgeries have been placed repeat edly on the public records, and have not been discovered. It Is extremely un fortunate that the public does not fully grasp the value of the Torrens law which has been In the statutes for some time, and make -use of the system. It has become more popular and lias been used by quite a number already, but not bo generally as It should be. It is real ly simple and does not have the diffi culties and faults that some few who ase opposed to It endeavor to make ap pear. If all our Innd was registered un der this law, people would Indeed be astonished at the ease with which all business could be done In real estate transactions, and how much more quick ly than under the old and cumbersome system." .. . AT THE THEATRES - -a Inspiring Vaudeville at Pantagcs. The old saying, "We lead, others fol low," in fully exemplified in the an nouncement that the Pantages manage ment Is booking some of the greatest novelties In vaudeville that experience and money can procure.
