California Men
Really Serious
About Seceding
North Counties 20 Pel.
Of Amu Only 1.7
Pel. of Voters
By El) CAI'I'S
United Press Staff Correspondent
REDDING, Calif. (UP)-Moun-lain
men in this remote area laid
plans today for cif,'ht Northern
California counties to secede and
cet up a 4!llh state, featuring leg
alized gambling and freedom from
income or sales taxes.
A small group met this week
and wired Hep. Clair Knglc (D
Califl to advise them how to pro
ceed to form a new state of
"Shasta." A severe snowstorm
prevented attendance of all eoun.
tics involved.
The dream of a new slate re
flects long-smoldering problems of
thinly populated, undeveloped
area. It was triggered by an ex
pected battle in the 1!I57 session of
the California legislature over
water development.
The cighl counties, Siskiyou.
Modoc, Del Norte, Humboldt,
Shasta, Trinity, Lassen and Plum
as, comprise about one-fifth of the
slate's area. The bulk of Califor
nia's undeveloped water origin
ates within borders of Ihe pro
posed state and the hills and val
leys about with wildlife and trout.
Small Population
However, the counties have but
1.7 per cent of the state's regis
lercd voters. They are represented
in the 120-seat stale Legislature
by only two assemblymen and
four senators. In contrast, Ihe city
of Los Angeles alone has 31 as
semblymen. Patrick Hanratly, 35-year-old de
partment store operator at Mt.
Shasta, and a co-signer on the
telegram to Englc, said the group
is dead serious.
"We don't plan to set up any
armed roadblocks or send our mil
itia to march on Los Angeles,"
Hanratty said. "We'll have to go
to the county governments and
set up a plebiscite election."
Hanratty said the group also has
asked State Attorney General Ed
mund G. Brown for advice,
"As a separate state, we would
bo masters of our own destiny,"
Hanratty said. "Wc would have
two senators in Ihe U.S. Congress
lo represent us."
Water Dispute
Arid Southern California, des
perately in need of water, has Ihe
majority of the stale's population
and taxpayers. It will have to bear
a large share of the cost of de
veloping Northern California wat
er resources. Legislators from the
South have shown n marked re
luctance to vote any money for
dams until they gel firm water
ngnts.
Hanratty said the area's chief
dilflculty is that It lacks the nonu-
lation or funds lo carry on ils fight
or bring about development.
"For inslance, (lie annual bud-
get of the Ml. Shasta Chamber of
Commerce is aboul $1,200, he
said. "You can't hire research
men to provide statistics with thai.
And you can't attract new Industry."
