New York is cited in the report as
the city which is setting the pace for
other cities in making postwar plans.
Officers of the City Club said New
York City is far ahead in it's plans and

The report declared the goal of such
Il postwar program should be "full
employment, not bOOndoggling, at the
production of useful goods and serv-
ices, with a consequent income for all. ''
Covering Il tive-month survey, it urged
all American cities to plan now and
prevent mass unemployment like that
| after the First World War.
Other works suggested included pub
lie buildings, parks and Fairgrounds,
forestry and soil conservation, flood
control, irrigation, swamp reclamation.

and moderniZation of transportation

The theme of the City Club of Chi
cagO's report, if American cities wait
until the war is over before planning,
delays that will cause unemployment
until such works can be got under way
are certain.
The idea, therefore, is to have every
thing in readiness to start so there will
be no gap between the end of the war
and the beginning of works projects.
The report stresses that in making

be given to every angle such as blue
prints, arrangements for financing,
legislation, etc
Officers of the club called attention
to the fact that these public works are
not the primary means of providing
postwar employment. They said that
private enterprise is the first and fore
most factor in providing jobs, and that
public works will be called upon to
make up the difference between those
who are needed in private industry and
those who want jobs.

The Cowurdice

1t is hard for those of us who love
America and who believe in the demo-

women of even ogilnary intelligence
could fall for the clap-trap sOphistries

of racial and religious superiority. We
laughed at first Their conspicuous

the high sounding names, their rosters
in which each member was an officer,
all sounded like some game that was

in deriSiOn.
But we have overlooked the one
thing they undeniably are towards.
Afraid to face life unable to meet the

to encounter, they have INDUCED in the
deadly dissipation of Self-pity, which

or dope known to physical degenerates.
They sought alibis for their own
failure in life by cOndemning whole

selves big in Il society of their own
making. They could not face the truth,

cashed or not. However, in the
case of certain building and loan
associations, dividends declared and
credited may not be withdrawn by
the shareholder until the maturity
of the share in future year. In
such cases the dividends do not be-
come income during the year of
the credit, but in the year of the
maturity of the share.
Another instance of constructive
receipt of income may arise when
ones debts or bills are paid by an
other or where a debt is forgiven.
If this payment of debt by anoth-
er, or forgiveness of debt by a
creditor, is not by way Of outright
gift, but in accordance with some
agreement, or business transaction,
then the amount of the debt paid on
behalf of the taxpayer, or forgiven
to him, becomes income to him in
the year in which such payment or
forgiveness occurs.
1t often happens that a taxpayer
who owns property agrees that the
income from such property shall be
paid to third party, or he may
contract to perform services to a
second party and it is agreed that
the compensation shall be paid to
a third party. In each case the
amount paid to the third party at
the taxpayers order is income con
structively received" by the tax
payer, which must be reported as
income in his income tax return.

Your ncome Tax
No. 12-lncome ConstructiveIy Received

In making a return of income for
Federal income tax purposes, all in
come must be reported except those
items which are specifically exempt,
list of which may be found in the
instructions attached to the return
form. The report of income must
include income "constructively re-
ceived' as we'll as actually received
|, that is, income which becomes the
property Of person during the year
even though he does not have ply
sical possession of it.
Income is constructively received
when it is unconditionally credited
to ones account or set apart subject
to his order at any time Thus, in
terest credited on savings bank de-
posit is income to the depositor
when credited, even though it may
not be drawn down or even entered
on the depositor's pass boo In
come received for taxpayer by his
agent, such as rental payments, has
been constructively received when
it is received by the agent.
Interest coupons which have ma
tured, and are payable, represent
income constructively received by
their owner, even though the cou-
pons are not cashed, unless, of
course, there are no funds available
to pay the interest on the coupons.
In the same way, dividend checks
ordinarily become income when re-
ceived, whether the checks are
