City's Budget No

Says at City Club
First Of Series of Meetings
To Be Held During Win
ter; Leonard NJ. Wall.
stein Discusses Subject

The methods used for computing and
discussing the city budget are crit
clzed and alternative methods sug-
gested by DR.. Charles A. Beard, di-
rector of the Bureau of Municipal Re
search, and Leonard NJ Wal SO n,
counsel for the Citizens Union, at a
meeting held at the City Club last
night The meeting was the first of
a series to be held during the winter.
I'D many prominent men attended.
Frederick H. Within was chairman.
DR.. Beard reviewed the history of
the city's budget system and said that
not budget at all, but merely an act
of appropriation. In order to com
plete and clarity the budget, he said.
the document should show balance
sheet, an estimate Of probable expen-
diture, capital outlay sheet and a
revenue statement. Such a documen mt
would give citizens an opportunity to
know at first hand the exact state of
the city's finances. which DR.. Beard
said is impossible under the present
arrangement.
DR.. Beard also suggested that there
should be one individual responsible
for the budget as finally presented.
Mr.. Walstein said large part of
the responsibility for the increasing
expenditure was due to the complica-
tions of the present governmental sys-
TEN, and suggested that since Gov
ernor Smith was engaged upon plan
to simplify the state system some sim
liar attention might be paid to the
city.
Reductions mad been made through
Mayor Hylan's insistence, Mr.. Wall
stein said, but in many cases the re-
auctions had been made in services
which needed to be kept at their high
est efficiency, and could not be per-
manent.
But, in all kindness and in all
sincerity" he concluded 81 am forced
to admit that the Mayor doesn't know
what the budget is all about and the
present budget is undoubtedly the
work of the Comptroller, who, however
much one may disagree with his views
certainly does know what the budget
means"

WASHINGTON, Nov. Bodybuilding
the convictions in New York of Jacob
Abrams and four other Russians for
spreading radical propaganda, the Su-
preme Court, IN majority opinion
written by Justice Clarke, declared
to-day that the pamphlets prepared by
the Russians and scattered broadcast
from roof tops in the lower east side
in New York City, were CLEARLY an

put down by force the government of

Justices Holmes and Brandeis dis

minority opinion that the circulation

sending American troops to Russia
was not in violation of the espionage

llsh the pamphlets. Justice Holmes
said. was as clear as was the right of
the Federal Government to publish the
constitution of the United States
Inc majority opinion pointed out
that the Russians, who were given
sentences of from three to twenty
years. had taken no steps toward natur-
alization although they had lived IN
TINS country from five to ten years.
-Four of them testified in their own
behalf, said Justice Clarke, "and of
these three frankly avowed that they
were rebels, 'revolutionists,' 'anar-
chlsts'; that they did not believe in
government in any form, and they de-
clared they had no interest whatever
IN the government of the United States
The fourth defendant testified that he
was socialist, and believed in a
proper kind Of government not capital
lstlc, but in his classification the gov
ernment of the United States was cap
italistic.'"
DECLARING that it was argued "some-
what family" that the acts charged
against the defendants were not un-
lawful because within the right of
freedom OF speech and of the press
guaranteed in the Constitution, the
court said this contention had been
definitely negatived" in several cases
previously decided by it.
Justice Holmes in his opinion said

and Rozansky to three years.
