TWELVE KILLED AND

Mail Agent J. l.. Parker, Of Walhal-
Ia; misrepresentation Jas. H. Brown,
OF Oakway, and Ruskin Anderson, OF
Seneca. Their hosts Of friends in the
county will be glad to know that
they escaped as lightly as they did,
their injuries, while very painful, be-
ing Of a nature not necessarily seri-
Gus.
The name Of J. P:>Mathias appears
among those who were killed. This
fact gave rise to the story that one
man from Walhalla had lost his life.
On Saturday George Mathis had gone
to the County Treasurer's office and.
paid his taxes, stating that he was
going the following week to Coium-
bia, near which place he would be
engaged IN cutting logs and timber
for a local concern, the Guerney Man
ufacturing Co. 1t developed, how
ever, that Mathis did not leave here
at the time he intended, which would
have probably thrown him to be IA
passenger on the ill-fated train. He
left Walhalla, 1t is said, just about
the time the accident occurred. New
erthe1ess, the report gained currency
that the Mathis who was scheduled
to leave here was the man who was
u
ence In the names, the dead mans
name being Matthias, while the Wal
halla man spells his name Mathis.
The many friends Of Messrs. Par
ker, Brown and Anderson will join
with The Courier in sincere hope
for their early recovery from their
injuries.

SWISS SHIFT TO ALLY
SIDE, WRITES A GERMAN

That part Of Switzerland which bor-
ders on France has been pro-ally
since the beginning of the war. and
that part of Switzerland which bor-
ders on Germany has been pro-Ger-
man until recently. says an official
dispatch yesterday from France.
1t outlines the change that has
come over German" Switzerland. and
which is admitted in a letter to the
Frankfurter Zeitung by a German.
who has been a resident of SwitZer-
land since the start of the war. He
says:
"a great part OF public opinion has
become pro-ally. or else is acting as
IL it had become SO. Another part
has remained theoretically neutral.
while only a very small portion of the
population has sympathies for the
German cause"
The German correspondent gives the
food supplied Switzerland by the allies
and her commercial and industrial de-
tendency. as material causes" of the
change in public opinion.

Opinions on Excess

FLAT 1929 EXEMPTION

All suggestions from Secretary
McAdoo regarding the excess profits
taxes in the new revenue bill were
finally rejected by the Ways and
Means committee yesterday and two
new sets Of rates, both higher than
the Treasury Department is willing
to accept. were agreed upon. Chair
man Kitchin was instructed to pre-
pare a draft embodying both Of the
series of rates. and the committee
will adopt one for the final draft
of the bill.
In announcing the action OF the
committee, Mr.. Kitchin said that
the conferences with Secretary Nc
kdoo and other officials of the
Treasury Department are at an
end and that the committee had
given up hope of being able to
convince the department of the wis
dom of adopting the higher rates.
For this reason, the committee has
decided to write the high rates into
the bill and ask the House to adopt
them. II the Senate should yield
to Mr.. McAdoo, the controversy will
be threshed out in conference.
Based on Pre-war Years.
The committee also decided upon
q fiat exemption of 10 per cent for
all classes of corporations under
the war profits tax and fixed the
years 1911. 1912 and 1913 as the pre-
war years for the purposes Of the
tax.
With the adoption of these rates
the committee closed its sessions on
the bill and will not meet again un-
iii Saturday. when the final o. X.
will be given the preliminary draft
Mr.. Kitchin announced that he will
Introduce the bill in the House by
Wednesday.
The bill as now drawn Is well
within the $4,000, 100000 maximum
Insisted upon by Secretary McAdoo
for the financing OF the war. Mr..
Eitchin said. OF this great total
the war profits and excess profits
taxes agreed upon by the committee
will yield at least $4,000. 900. 900. ac-
cording to the committees experts.
Catches Big Concerns.
A catch clause" to take care of
any corporations which might
escape taxation under either the
war profits plan or the excess prof
Its plan was agreed upon by the
lommittee. This provides that any
corporation whose invested capital
exceeds $1.G00.000 shall pay at least
10 per cent of its net income as an
excess profits tax
AS a further protection for smaller
corporations. whom the Treasury
Department feared would be hurt
by an increase in the excess profits
rates. the committee adopted anoth
er clause to this effect.
"On all corporations whose in
vested capital does not ex-
ceed Sz5.O00 the amount of the ex-
cess profits tax shall not be in ex-
cess of IS per cent OF the net in
come. On corporations whose in
vested capital Is between s25,000
and $50. 900 the amount of the ex-
cess profits tax shall not be in ex-
cess of 40 per cent of the net in
come"
The Treasury Department has ad-
vised the committee that the in
come OF all corporations in the
United States during the fiscal year
1918 will be S9,7OO. 900. 900 as against
80. 500, 900, 900 for the year 1917.

If So, Get on the Right
Treatment at Once.

If you are one of the thousands
who are afflicted with any form Of
irritating skin disease. verify you
know what real torture is. You
know well enough what it means
to lay awake at night. rubbing and
scratching your raw and irritated
skin. in a vain endeavor to get re-
lief from the fiery burning.
OF course. the most serious
phase of skin disease is the al
most unbearable suffering caused
by the fiery itching and irritation
of the skin. In addition. the dis
ease often causes unsightly rough
ness and discolorations. dis6guring
and spelling the complexion. and
leaving its blighting marks in its

been marred by these disorders
which first appeared as tiny red
pimples.

eases. and with this enlightenment
comes the reason why the prevail
ing treatment heretofore used has
proven such a complete failure. 1t
