The opinions held by the lcpresenta tives of the city and those of the reform orgnnizatiJns were completely nt var iance and they could reach no common ground for discussing the subject under consideration. James Collins Jones and Dr. Fred crick Gruenberg, members of the charter revision subcommittee in charge of drafting that part of the proposed charter dealing with the budget sys tem, represented the revisionists. No Common Ground The city was icprcsentcd by John P. Connelly, city solicitor; Joseph V Gaffney, chairman of Councils' finance committee; John M. Walton, city con troller, and William P. Hadley, as sistant city controller. "We could not get together on any common ground," Mr.i Connelly said nfter the meeting. "Mr. Jones and Doc tor Gruenberg contend the budget should be submitted by the Mayor, nnd we believe that power should be re tained by the city controller. "Their budget plan is based on the corporation financing system, which we do not believe is appncoDie to 111c neecis of the city. Their plan Is based on re ceipts and expenditures and ours on nsh and revenue." Other fundamental differences crop ped up, also. The time for submitting tho budget and the method of placing it before Councils were other things oh which the conferees could not agree. The question of the manner In which the controller makes his estimates for thp .budget was under the fire of the revisionists. They contended that the present method, vvliich is based on a compilation of averages secured from the tax records of the past five years, is obsolete and innderunto for the pres ent needs of the city. Public Hearing Thursday . A number of minor technical points also came up for consideration. A public hearing on the charter bill is scheduled for Thursday In the finance chamber nt City Hall before the senate committee on municipal af fairs, of which Senator E,dwlu 8. Vare Is chairman. Mr. Connelly and Mr. Gaffney said today that they had not made up their minds jet whether they will appear be fore the meeting and voice their ob jections to the charter or not.

JAIL CRITICS IF GAG BILL PASSES Doctor Lewis, of U. of P., Sees Droll Possibilities of Proposed Sedition Law Critics of the admlnifjhatiou vvoiild promptly go to jail under the sedition bill now before the Legislature, in the opinion of Dr. William Draper Lewis, of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Doctor Lewis, an expert on consti tutional law, finds in the sedition bill a distinct menace to all public utter ance. He finds that, under this bill, every distinguished public man inevit ably would make himself a felon in the next political campaign. The sedition bill, now in the hands of the judiciary general committee of Lthe House of Representatives, was In troduced last Tuesday by Representa tive Flynn, of Elk county. It is known as an administration measure. It prohibits any utterance, writing or meeting that "tends to arouse discon tent against the state" or national gov ernment," It refuses the right of as semblage to any person talking discon tent nnd, In the view of Doctor Lewis, absolutely prohibits the, usual methods of political campaigning. All Politicians Not Scamps "When I was much younger," said Doctor Lewis, "I had the not uncom mon idea of a great many good people that all persons- In public life were nefarious politicians.
