CALIFORNIA IDEA California has led the Nation in to many things that it is not surprising to learn that this State initiated the idea of documentary revenue stamps four years before the United States Government adopted the use of the pesky little nuisances. It took a war to get the Federal Government started in their use, and we have commemorated each successive war by the issuance of further sets. However, California did not need a war to start the idea of using these little bits of paper to be affixed to a document of almost any nature found necessary to con duct business. We, did it out of sheer necessity. In fact, much of the progress made by the State of California since '49 may justly be credited to this vefy strip of paper.

Two hundred thirty-five stamps of the 3-cent value were issued on July 1, 1857. On June 1, 1861, 25 of the stamps were returned to Sacramento and burned, leaving 210 of them which were used, lost or destroyed.
