The following interesting little prob lem bearing on !he question of taNa- tion was propoundcd to the Nugget reporter by City Attorney Hobbes the other day and should furnish food for reflection to some of those who usually raise a howl about excessive taxation.
 If d taxpayer has $1Oo0.00, cash, hat sum is easily capable of earning at least $S.33 q month in interest or $l0oo o0 a year. The c@p.tal is assess able at $1QO0o0. If the taxpayer has a cabin or house in WI ich h. or he and lis family live. it's earning co1-city .s easily worth $S33 month, or $l00 d year, interest, in the way of rent; l The actual value of the house. there fore, applying to 1t the same principle that governs the cash capital, is 5000. Why then should i' not be asscss2bla at .he sum of 5000? The fact is. how ever, as stated by the assessor. the valuation of the average houses in Nome for taxing purposes. is nearer $85o than 5000 thus making their in- tcrcsl or rent bearing capability nearer 90 per cent than s per cent.
