permit one county to tax itself to

Moonshine stills are responsible
for not less than 25 per cent of the
fires in the forests of the Pacific
Northwest, according to reports.
These stills are usually located in
inaccessitde places In the woods,
where the dry timber and brush will
take fire from the smallest spark and
get beyond control before the fire
fighting forces discover the smoke.
Unmistakable evidence of moonshine
has been found in the newly burned
areas.
