Omaha daily bee., 1912-05-20


question of Increased rates that Is
proposed by the head camp Thursday
evening. the members OF South Omaha
camp No. loss will hold a special meeting
to vote on the proposition whether a
special tax Of 70 cents shall be levied upon
the local membership in order to assist
In the fight against the increased rates,
Already the camp has levied tax of 10
cents per capita 10 aid in the fight made
by the district
The officers Of the local lodge refuse
20 put the question of the increased tax
and claim the protection Of the laws In
support Of their action. II is maintained
BY some OF those acquainted with the
question that whatever Justice there may
be in the protest OF the old members who
are opposing the increase Of rates, the
bylaws permit Of no reiief and therefore
the action OF the officers in refusing to
assist In fight that is directed against
the laws Of the organization Is logical
and right
On the part OF the members, particularly
he older ones. there is certain amount
II pathos in the fight made by them TO
keep down the rates from stage that
hey claim will practically force many
81 them out Of the ranks.
At the meeting next Thursday the
matter is TO be threshed out thoroughly
BY the local camp. A court in a neigh
boring state has already upheld the
action Of camp officers who refused to
eyy or pay any tax directed to the as
,istance Of the insurgents.
