Yreka, Calif., Nov. 25
Secessionists of four dissatisfied
California and Oregon border
counties plan a tax-free govern
ment for "Jefferson," their pro
posed 49th state.
Leaders of the "rebellion" de
cided in a meeting at Yreka,
provisional capital of the proj
ected new commonwealth, that
income, sales and liquor taxes
would not be levied.
Gilbert Gable of Curry coun
ty, Ore., regarded by secession
ists as their governor-to-be. said
the new government would be
financed solely from small roy
alties on mining and timber
developments.
Citizens of "rebel" Siskiyou,
Del Norte and Modoc counties
of California and Curry of Ore
gon want to secede from the
two states so that their mineral
and timber resources may be
developed under their own gov
ernment. Secessionists contend they
have not received a "square
deal" from California and Ore
gon because the more populous
counties get a major share of
highway and other funds for
public improvements.
