THE BEE : OMAHA, SATURDAY; MARCH 20, 1920. TAX PROPOSED TO CARE FOR ALL OMAHA CHARITY 0. of C. Committee Reports ' Annual Levy to Leading Or ganizations Nears $500,000. -. ' Omaha's annual contribution to -just a few of the leading charitable ' organizations in the city amounts to about $500,000, according to figures :;quoted Thursday at a meeting of a Chamber of Commerce committee inrestigating the feasibility of, and plans for, a federation of all such organizations. Investigations conducted prior to the meeting developed that there are at least 40 charitable-bodies in the city that might be incorporated in a federation for acquiring funds through an annual budget, Rabbi Frederick Cohn, chairman of the committee, said. The reports of IS of the largest of these organizations show that their annual collections and distributions are about $500,- 000. The city's bill is materially increased, the committee found, by the addition of subscriptions to the remainder. The charities of the city have been classified into those purely chari table in nature, the ones growing out of service to the military, semi-religious, and non-philanthropic, Dr. Cohn explained for the purpose of studying their work and organiza tion. Ivrom data compiled in this investigation conclusions as to the practicability of the budget plan, and which charities may participate, will be drawn. The committee will also report, Dr. Cohn said,' on which charities in Omaha might be included in a tax levy. Many business men favor a general tax for the support of such organizations, he said, to make the support of charities general instead of confining it to the same set of men year after year It is under stood that all charities directed by churches as part of their religious work could not be included, but aside, from such relief organizations, there still remains a large number that the committee believes could be supported by a universal tax, he de clared. Additional investigation of that question is contemplated. The next meeting of the commit tee will be at 8 p. m. Wednesday, in .the. City hall. Bad Faith Charged In Auto Men's Resolution On Bitulithic Paving Bad faith by-J)ouglas county com missioners in contracting for pav ing 'of 12 miles of Douglas county roads with bitulithic is charged in a resolution unanimously adopted Thursday night by members of the Automobile Trade association. "We wish to ko. on record oub- licly as resenting action of the coun ty -commissioners in breaking faith with 'the men who voted for the road bond issue - with the implicit understanding that brick would be used in pavinsr our roads." the reso lution declares. 1417 Douglas Street.

An ocean voyage of 11,000 miles, through the- blue Pacific to Ha waii, then to the mysterious orient, and back to the Philippine islands, will be the honeymoon trip of three young Fort Omaha, soldiers, mem bers of the 17th and 27th balloon companies and their fortunate brides. - The two companies, composed of 300 men, will leave Omaha on March 25 for San Francisco and will sail for the Philippine Islands on the transport Sherman on April 13, it was announced yesterday. As a re suit of this announcement one sol dier has already taken a bride, and two .others are planning to be mar ried' before leavinar the city. In the opinion of Lieut W. C. Burns, ad jutant at Fort Omaha, several other only girls ' will succumb to the lure of a honeymoon in the tropics before the men leave for the Coast First Couple Wed. Miss Gayle McCutcheon of Vil lisca, la., and Pvt. John McDonald of the Twenty-seventh Balloon com pany, were the first to assume the matrimonial yoke. They were mar ried -by Rev. C W. Savidge Thurs day afternoon, and are now pre-d paring for their trip into the love land" of the South Pacific. The bride is 18 years old and her husband 23. Pvt. Cecil Slater, also of the Twenty-seventh Balloon company, acted as best man at the ceremony, and Miss Liela Mc Cutcheon, sister of the bride, was "best lady." When Sergt. V. P. McDonnell of St. Louis. Mo., learned of the pro posed honeymoon to the Philippines yesterday he' immediately sent a telegram to Miss Rose M. Hohl, also of St. Louis, Mo., asking her to come to Omaha at once to marry him. He is now waiting anxiously for a reply. , "I certainly hone she Brett here cui'ckly," he said yesterday, as he paced restlessly back and forth in the company headquarters office. "I know she v.ill come but will she come in tine? I'm sure she will though, when she understands that we are to have a regular honey moon. To Wed on Departure. Sergt. James L.,Byrd of Anita, Ia., is the third soldier who plans to take his bride on the long jour ney. He has kept the name of his prospective bride from other mem bers of his company, according to Sergeant McDonnell, . who believes she is an Omaha girt It is understood at the fort that Sergeant Byrd will not be married until one hour before the train leaves for San Francisco. The two balloon companies have bee.i at Fort Omaha for a year. They will take more than $1,000,000 worth of equipment with them when they leave the fort, according to Lieutenant Burns, and will be the only balloon companies in the Philippines. Officers in charge of the trip are Capt H. C. Lewis and Capt W. A. Gray. No troops will be brought to Fort Omaha to replace these men for several months. The transport Sherman will stop at Hawaii, on the coast of Japan and of China, and then pro to the Philippines. The trip will require more than a month. Although the expenses of the men are paid in full by the government, the added expense of the newly ac quired wives is not entirely includ ed in the government budget, and will have to be paid in part by the husbands. The two companies will be sta tioned in the Philippines "for two years. , BRITISH PARTY, OF MERCHANTS TO VISIT OMAHA Twenty-two' Department Store Agents Accept Retailers' In vitation to Stop Here.
