I'm MoNTEv1DEo's Plaza Constitution not
i long ago. candidate for President named
Domingo Tortoreli got up to make an cleo
ton speech. IF you vote for me, he roared,
Il pledge:
"A super highway to the beach that will
run downhill going and coming.
Two filling stations on each corner. One
will gush free milk for the youngsters. The
other - free rum for Papa and Mama
Unlimited, no charge, telephones for peo-
pie in love and politicians - so that they can
talk themselves out without annoying any
body else"
HIS Caznpaigas Are Famous
DON DOMINGO, a tall, mustachioed, old
school eobaLero who regularly pops UP like
mushroom at polling time, got plenty of
laughter for his promises. His campaigns,
poking a little fun at a serious presidential
race, are famous.
But while Uruguayans laugh at Domingo's
exaggerations, the things they've already
made working realities have caused many
Americans - North and South - to feel this
tiny, peaceful. South American country.
which rarely makes the headlines, may have
the answers to many of the worlds problems.
Roads in this gently rolling land don't yet
run downhill, both ways. But Uruguay's
famed beaches are not only free but pro-
vide gratis swimming lessons to taxpay-
ers, their offspring and guests.
Milk and rum aren't currently on the house.
But the Government, through national Co
operative, sells plenty of the former at 10
cents quart, besides making all kinds of
other wholesome foods available at low prices.
1t also keeps meters on the barrels of rum in
the cafes, to be certain prices remain modest.
And it runs the telephones: all the calls you
want for under 81 month
There's Middle Way
URUGUAY has done all this and more,
not through Communism, Fascism or any
other regimented philosophy, but through
middle way. In some ways, the system is like
Sweden's. In others, like Switzerland's. But
in most, Uruguayans tell you proudly, Its
neither - but simply what we call a vigorous
democracy in everyday action"

And you can take as long as you want to

The result is that almost everybody you
meet in the capital and in many provincial
towns is student. And Uruguay's lteracy
is nearly as high as our own.
''Education is the basis of our democ-
racy," shy, retiring President Luis Battle
Berres told me later. We've tried to make

almost no racial or religious problem"
Unlike most Latin countries, where hand
full of families generally control the wealth
and millions live in abject poverty, Uruguay
is essentially middle-class country. That's
because, though squeezed between Latin
Americas two totalitarian-minded giants,
Argentina and Brazil, her gates have always
been open to those seeking New World
opportunity.
Run BY the State
CN A trip back from one of the estancias
or ranches, from which Uruguay derives most
of her income, we rode on modern, efficient,
taxpayer-owned railroad, then transferred to
co-operatively run bus. A few minutes
later we stepped into State bank to finish
our business, then walked to the nearby
Offices of the similarly run State insurance
agency. At lunch the specialties were fish
caught by the State-owned fishing fleet and
meat from prize stock slaughtered at the
National Packing Plant.

make the enterprises pay while rendering
cheap and efficient service. And besides,
we don't think the Government runs us - we

State agencies have proven this by using
their profits for public benefit and to help
answer the perplexing question of how to bal

THAT @little gray home in the west" now
l. has more than the sagebruSh round the
door and a halo of sentimentality to give
it appeal. In many cases it has become a
cleaning white cottage, complete with all
modern facilities. In the change it has lost
none of its charm and has gained truly all
the comforts of a home.
For Montana and Wyoming farmers and
ranchers are doing a lot of building these
days. 1t should not be termed a "boom,"
since that is always associated with the
sequel of "bust." It is rather a SOUND and
steady working out of a program to in
crease the efficiency of farm and ranch
operations and the desirability of farm and
ranch life. The building includes barns,
granaries, machine sheds, shops and, most
important Of all-homes.
Materials Problem
builders nave found some materials expen-
sive and hard to get, but this has been less
of a problem than might be expected. In
the first place lumber yards are now able
to supply all materials needed to build
good, sound houses and buildings. Some
select grades of certain items may be short
in supply, but there are number one grades
that can be used with no loss in real quality.
One item that is limited right now is
plaster board lath. For instance, George
Pitch of Blaine county had to hold up work
on his new home (see picture below for six
weeks while waiting for a supply, but there
is plenty of metal and wood lath to be had.
And the farm and ranch builder has been
ingenious in solving his materials prob

room and bedroom. Then a separate little
one-room house was added on for another
bedroom and sometime later a two-room
house was added on for another pair of bed
rooms. TIL integrated structure will drop
one of the additions, but the other two have
been worked into a very disable house plan.
The concrete block basement and large
addition seen in right of picture were start
ed last August. All of the work has been
done by Ries himself and he estimates a
$4,000 investment now, which includes
enough wall board and insulation to finish
the place. Another $4,000 will finish the
place completely, he says-a total of $4,000
for a two-story house % by "A feet.
Peter Brug, Teton county is starting the
basement for a new go by % foot one story
farm house. The entire structure will be of
concrete-pumice blocks that he plans to set
up himself. They came onto the place in
1912 and started a small two-room house
and built additions twice and are finally
getting a start on a new place.
