Before the 16th Amendment, passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified February 3, 1913, there were no regular income taxes. Assessments and periodic revenue collections were made. However, as the country grew there were more expectations of services to be provided by government. Before then, for example, people maintained the road in front of their houses, people stayed home during severe illnesses and public buildings (ie. schools, jails) were funded and built by local citizens.
To lay and collect taxes is to impose a specific amount the taxes are, and to collect taxes is to literally collect the taxes from people.
