Collector, Gives Address Be-
fore Rock Island Club.

p. G. Rennick. collector of internal
revenue. with headquarters at Peoria,
was the speaker at the MONDAY lunch
talk at the Rock Island club today.
Mr.. Rennick undertook the task OF
explaining TO the members of the club
the income tax law. The act Is diff
ficult one TO understand by merely
reading it. but the speaker made clear
TO his auditors the meaning of many
of its points.
In opening his talk, he stated that
the income tax law was a copy of the
English measure dealing with the same
matter. Mr.. Rennick asserted that
the law was one not made for the peo-
pie, as the mass of the people did not
care about its workings.
To illustrate this statement, he gave
the analysis of several communities,
in which he undertook to learn how
many people would be affected by the
act.
In one particular place he stated
that two people in a population of
Summing up the whole country, he
stated lndt only one IN over OuV per
sons would be affected by the law.
The question, Have you an income
of $4,000 or more?" will Immediately
decide whether or not you will be re-
quired 10 pay tax under the law, the
speaker asserted. Income in this case.
he stated further. means what comes
in as a gain or profit.
In determining in more detail what
is affected by the law, Mr.. Rennick
stated that gifts and requests are
not considered as being affected on
the income tax further than the tax on
their interest.
The law Mr.. Rennick said, lis un-
der two regulations. Regulation No. /
affects all bonds, mortgages, trustees
and deeds. Taxes are held on inter
est of these no matter whether it is
five cents or FIVE dollars. provided the
holder is not exempted from the law.
Regulation No affects all other in
comes, such as rents, personal serv-
ices, wages He completed his talk
with a more detailed account of var
ious other technicalities of the law.
