STATE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Belief Expressed Regarding West Vir-
ginia Situation.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WHEELING. w. Va, October 13.-John
L. Steele Senator Scotts private secretary
who has been on the ground studying the
rituation in West Virginia since the 1st of
September, is In Wheeling to note the ef-
feet of the -Hill-Daniels' spell-bnd-
ing tour.
Mr. Steele stated last night that West
Virginia will remain in the republican COL
umn, judging by his observations and talks
with the leaders, and, while admitting the
probability of the democrats electing their
candidate for governor he Is inclined to be-
iieve that the republican explanations of
the new tax legislation will offset the ef-
feet of democratic literature before the
election day. He said he thought reac-
tion of sentiment had already begun Mr.
Steele said he could not give election fig
ures and did not believe any living man
can do so accurately. He is confident as
he is conservative. The meeting, which is
to be addressed by the Davis party tonight
is being doomed for the banner campaign
rally in West Virginia, and pictures of
Davis are being catered and display d Law
ishly. The Davis special arrived this after
noon and Mr.. Davis will spend several
hours at the state headquarters here in con-
ferenceS.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-10-13

will result In increasing taxes on farms and
all forms of real estate Republicans gen.
orally claim that in the long run the opera
ton of the law will prove satisfactory and
Will not, In fact, Increase the burden OF
taxation. Democrats declare that the cor
poratlonS should pay more of these taxes
of the state, and that if the democratic
legislature is elected they will repeal the
obnoxious law and in its place provide
system of taxation under which the Oil,
coal and natural gas output will be taxed,
so as to relieve the farms and other forms
of real estate of the necessity of contribut-
ing to the expenses of the state govern
ment. These taxation problems are intri-
cate enough to permit men to discuss them
by the hour with no change of opinion on
either side. The West Virginia tax law is
worthy of a place beside the tariff and the
money question as an object for debate.
But on the whole the democrats have by
far the best of the argument. They claim
that their plan will shift the large part of
the burden from real estate to the great
corporations that deal in the natural re-
sources of the state. This is an issue that
the people are discussing and are likely to
discuss until election day. 1t makes the
democratic state ticket much stronger. than
the national ticket of the party. The demo-
Gratis have abundant funds to force this is
sue as the weapon of publicly. They have
sent broadcast tons of pamphlets telling the
democratic side of the case. In that re-
spect they are distinctly ahead of the re-
publicans, who claim that they have about
ready for publication pamphlet that will
turn the tide. The result is yet to be seen.
Unless the republicans do more effective
work than they have in the past In combat
ing democratic statements the democratic
state ticket is apt TO grow in strength. 1t
may be given support that will affect the
national ticket, because the scratching of
the republican ticket is apt to cause some
votes to be thrown out when voters are not
carefully instructed. &. Il. r.
