Speaking Of the collection at the

the new law. says: THAT part Of the
new law requiring collection at the
source takes effect Nov. / of this
year. After this date every person,
firm. or corporation through whose
hands passes fixed annual or period
ical taxable income of the individual
during the months Of November and
December must withhold an amount
equivalent to the tax due or to be-
come due upon the amount Of such
fixed annual or periodical income as
has thus passed to the individual tax
payer since March 1, 1913, in excess
OF $4,000. To illustrate: a man pay
ing q thousand dollars month rent
would withhold from the first rental
payment made after Nov. |. the tax
due upon each payment made from
March 1. unless the landlord should
file notice OF claim OF exemption, In
which event the amount upon which
the tax should be withheld would be
reduced. This rule would apply also
