        Laws may be passed providing for a system of registering,
     transferring, insuring of and guaranteeing land titles by the
     State, or by the counties thereof, and for settling and
     determining adverse or other claims to and interest in lands the
     titles to which are so registered, transferred, insured, and
     guaranteed; and for the creation and collection of indemnity
     funds; and for carrying the system and powers hereby provided
     for into effect by such existing courts as may be designated by

     perfected by the court, and provision may be made for raising
     the necessary funds for expenses and salaries of officers, which
     shall be paid out of the treasury of the several counties.
