SEN A TO R
McNARY
The death of S enator C harles 1.
M cNary ended an era fo r Oregon.
It was a period in which Oregon,
one of the sm aller a ta te s, *a»
able U> obtain pow er and preatige
in W aahington.
M cNary was a
figure of prom inence there because
h< was m inority leader of the
sen a te and thus able to influ
ence legislation. Hia fhrewdneaa
m ade it possible fo r him to affect
sen a to ria l action to a g re a te r ex
te n t th an would ord in arily prevail.
M cN ary did not fight th e new
deal, b u t he did n o t like it or
a g ree w ith it- Hia victories over
it were caused by blocking sen
a to ria l action through a knowledge
of procedure f a r g re a te r than any
of the new deal henchm en. By
a tim ely motion here and there, a
req u est fo r this o r th a t, M eNary
wore down the often h a lf hearted
m a jo rity in the sen ate and pre
vented action on the m ore radical
innovations of the social dem o
c ra ts who m anage the adm inis
tratio n .
M cNary acted
on liehalf ?f
O regon. M atters th a t benefited hia
n ativ e s ta te w ere close to his
h e a r t , and speedily enlisted his
su p p o rt. When inform ed and con
vinced
of th e ir desirability. he
knew the moves to take to ob
tain the desired action.
The Shaniko branch
railroad
case is an exam ple M cNary had
teleg rap h ed the co u n ty ’s delegates
the day th ey left Moro th a t the
case was practically hopeless.
W hen they arrived in the capital
and inform ed him of the serious
ness o f te m atter, he th rew his
inftu<nc» into the fig h t w ith the
re s u lt th a t is now well known.
He knew wh«t to do in Waxh
ington b e tte r than any m an from
the west, probably b e tte r than
any one He seemed to play on
ftr* figures around th e capital as
n pspe organ p lay er uses the keys
o f his instrum ent. N ever hurried,
alw ays courteous, ever patient, he
b rought resu lts to O regon th a t
thi« state m ay not obtain fo r a
generation.
No one will he able to succeed
him and make a m ark for him-
Self in years A n atu ra l l e n t for
natio n al politics and the peculiar
Conditions of the tim es elevate J
th e mild
McNary to leadership.
And he used it well.
The nam e o f th e man who will
tak e the plate of S enator M cNary
in W ashington will probably be
announced a t the end of this
week, a fte r the funeral F riday a f
ternoon.
There is said too l>e a scram ble
for the place as o ften occurs when
political plum* are to he obtained
through appointm ent- There are
but few men capable of doing a
good job for Oregon for the r e
m ainder of the year.
W hoever accents the a p p o in t
ment will lx* handicapped by a
short tim e to serve, and by the
psychological handicap of follow
ing so influential a man a s C h a r
ley M cNary. U nless he he one
who has been in W ashington for
some tim e, he will be additionally
handicapped by ignorance of sen
a te proceedure.
Thia new spaper hopes th a t in
thia year the s ta te of Oregon may
be rep resented in M cN ary's seat
by an able man. T h e govern

he choose a political hack, it will

Centralized government is not an aim

best types of democracies, have long
been centralized. Republican France

DR. L E N G Y K L O PEN«: To think
that only local government is demo
cratic is a mistake. C ertainly It is not
true of England, was not true of re
publican France; the freedom loving
Scandinavian countries—all central
ized. I t was the m ayor of an A m eri

Local government necessarily shrinks
as the globe's surface shrinks. O bvi
ously. >t was extensive when an Eng
lish county was a vast territo ry. T o
day. from your airplane, it is a speck
oil the map. Local democracy is part
of the central democracy—not ite
enemy. W ith the interconnection o f
local interests, self-sufficient local
democracy actually defeats the aims
of real democracy— the execution of
the w ill of the people. I t cannot be
the real w ill o f the people to mu
tilate it by retaining traditional unite
because they were useful in the
stagecoach era. Far from being the
enemy of local democracy, central
ized government, conducted in the
real democratic spirit, strengthens
local democracy by placing behind it
strong government resources. De
mocracy is fa r easier to safeguard in
the central government, which c iti
zens can watch w ith great vigilance,
because ft occupies a central position.
Local government does not; hence, it
is easier tor local autocrats to falsify

Is impossible to have both a central
ized, pow erful adm inistrative federal
system and a free play of individual
ism in local self-governm ent History
proves democratic tendencies have
been destroyed by centralized author
ity. When the Roman Republic faded
by degeneration of the Senate, local
democracy* died, tyrannical dictator-,
ships succeeded. In modern Italy)
when centralization through Fascism,
took over, local democracy and in-;
dividual freedom died. When legisla
tive authority failed in Germany, all
government was centralized in the
dictator. What good did it do the,
people to watch this monster g ro w
without a voice in its growth? How
coul- local aelf-government assert it-'
self? What became of individual'
rights?
D R LENGYEL REPLIES: When
there were more than ten m illion un
employed in the U. S., local democ
racy was. reduced to flashing S O S ;
Signals to Washington. Luckily, the
fathers of the country foresaw the
future and made provisions for cen
tralized action through the “general
w elfare” clause. W ithout such cen-i
tralized action, there would have;
been revolution in the country. M o d -’
ern government is big business, the;
business of the people. Modern times,
call for the efficiency of large organ
ization and not for the “local democ
racy” of the village smithy. May I
also remind Congressman Disney th a t’
the Roman Senate was never a p illar-
of local democracy; centralization did
not precede Fascism, and Germany
never had a real democracy.
