TO MARK CAPACITY ON
10 DISTRICT BRIDGES

Triton, March 13.-Bridges on
the state highways in the Tenth road
district will be marked with signs Civ
ing the load capacity of the bridges
and warning traffic not to overload
it. Road authorities state that in
many cases trucks are driven over
bridges with loads heavier than the
bridges can carry and this leads to
trouble. Tenth district headquarters
are advertising for one hundred and
one thousand lots of 15x24 inch signs
of yellow pine painted white and let
tered black, and these will be used to
post bridges with the load capacity
of each bridge. If drivers overload
a bridge despite this warning, it will
be at their own risk. The State Hign-
way department is advertising for
quite a lot of road-building equip
mcnt, including graders, tractors
drags, scrapes, trucks, etc.

ANTI-HEARST WOMEN
'AMUSE' HIRSHFIELD
Criticizes 1920 Regularity
Test as Opposition GrolUs.

David Hirshf1eld, Commissioner OF
Accounts, yesterday criticized the Demo
cratic women. headed by Mrs. Henry
Moskowitz. who have declared their
opposition to- the nomination on the
State ticket of any man who did not
give unqualified support to Democratic
candidates and principles in 1920. This
action was interpreted as meaning they
oppose the nomination of w. r. Hearst
Upstate women are preparing to or
ganize to oppose Hearst in the same
manner as are the New York women.
Mrs. Mary A. Morse of Buffalo Is head
of the State movement.
In his statement, Hirshfield said:
1T is interesting to watch the ma
neuvers of certain people in attacking
likely nominees for public office in order
to promote the candidacy of their
favorite. PRESUMABLY Alfred z. Smith. }
To a careful observer these attempts
furnish a great deal of amusement.
Mrs. Moskowitz and her friends seel,
to limit the test of democracy to the
election of 1870. presumably because
they do not wish to be reminded of
their own opposition to Democratic can
didates in the Mayoralty elections in
1913, 1917 and 1921"

impossible, for firms to succeed, or
else admission to the Consolidated is
SO easily obtained that men get in who
are able to use the name of the Con-
solidated to advantage for short time
and get business but who yet are not
sufficiently good business men to fore
stall failure. Naturally. the point
arises: What are the requisites for
membership in this Consolidated Ex-
change? This is a matter that will
be gone into later.
On one score-and it is a matter
that has caused long and warm con-
troversy-tha Consolidated and the
New York Stock Exchange are on a
par. Neither is corporation: neither
has any legal responsibilities to the
State Government. the Federal Gov
ernment or to the people generally
that is any greater than the respon-
sibility Of the small storekeeper. Both
are voluntary membership associa-
tions. They are self-governed and
+. their responsibility is to their men,
bers alone.
Reference Is made, of course, to their
legal responsibility. AS far as moral
responsibility is concerned the matter
is one that might he argued for
months to no purpose. 1t is well to
bring out thus early, however, that
when the plate glass window in the
front OF brokerage house bears the
gilt inscription Member of the Consoli-
! dated Stock Exchange" it means SIM
| ply that the firm belongs to an asso-
ciation OF firms doing similar busi-
ness and banded together for their
own purposes and betterment.
1t does not mean that they have
joined an organization that. is con-
cerned with the welfare of the invest
ing public or with the protection of
the individual rights of the man who
thinks he knows how to beat the stock
market. 1t means just exactly as
much as IL the inscription read MEM
Der of the Stock Brokers' Mutual Pro-
tective Association"-no more and no
less. The same is true, too, of the
sign Member of the New York Stock
Exchange
