T urawer Call 276M652 r Bicentennial Forum Dy Consent Pioneer of the States "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the Slates respectively, or to the people." Tenth Amend ment to the Constitution. "I needed the good will of the legislature of four states. I 'formed' the legislative bodies with my own money. I found that it was cheaper that way." Jay Gould "I am not a an American.' ry. Virginian, but Patrick Hen- Having fought a war against a remote central authority, the framers of the Constitution were sensitive to criticisms of the new Federal government as not sufficiently close to the people. They might, then, be pleased to know that there are now more than 90.000 other governmental units in the United States. Besides the fifty states, there are count less elected representatives in cities, towns, counties, vil lages, school boards, port and tunnel authorities, highway commissions, sewage dis tricts, power boards and water regions. There are also metropolitan and regional authorities that enable us to deal with interstate problems without going to Washington. Plainly, a great deal of America's government Is not at the Federal level. We are all citizens of our towns and states, as well as the nation, even if we don't hold "town meetings" any more. Would we have a belter society if more power and responsibility were retained locally? What would we sacrifice thereby? In what areas should each state have the right to decide what's best for its inhabi tants? Should we be limited by inherited local and stale boundaries, given present conditions? Do we need more or less uniform national stan dards? At the Hartford convention of 1814, Federalists who dis approve of the War, of 1812 ( advocate states' rights and nulificalion the doctrine that any slate has the right to oppose a Congressional action that it believes is a violation of the Constitution. They are accused of verging on seces sion. William M. Tweed symboli zes the growing power and corruption of big-city political machines in the 19ih century. "Boss" Tweed's Tammany Hall steals millions, is in absolute control of New York politics. Tweed himself says. "As long as I count the votes, w hal are you going to do about it?" From 1900 to 1917. municipal reformers work for more modern honest city governments. In the early !9fios the Supreme Court moves to end I he disproportion among dis tricts in state legislatures which permitted rural legisla tors to control stale assem blies and senates long after a majority of Ihe population had become urban. Reynolds vs. Sims establishes Ihe "one man, one-vole" rule requiring seats in both houses of a slale legislature lo be apportioned on Ihe basis of population Profiles Scherzinger and Shipley Families By Justine Wratherford Henry Scherzinger was born on a farm in Wisconsin in 1859 and died at Heppner in 1938 after living in Morrow County for almost 62 years. He was 11 years old when he came to Oregon with his family via the newly completed transconti nental railroad to San Fran cisco. CA, and then by boat to Portland. He lived at Oregon City and attended county schools. He became an apprentice black smith when only 12 years old. he came to Heppner in 1875 with his older brother Frank and his wife.

Dr. Shipley, this county's first medical doctor was born in Missouri in 1844 and graduated from Willamette University's Medical School in 1869. He died in 1898 when only 53 years of age. His wife survived him for 25 years until 1923. Dr. Shipley served a vast territory surrounding Hepp ner. from Echo to Monument and from Hitter to Arlington which he covered on horse back. He became friendly with the Indians and he had some hair-raising experiences as he rode from homestead to homestead. The Shipleys lived in several locations in Hepp ner. Their home in the north ,. . pari of town was surrounded ', by two and one-half acres, all m landscaped, which was con sidered a "show place" of the town to the time of the 1903 flood. Mrs. Shipley assisted her husband by nursing some of his patients, some of whom were cared for in their home. Thev had 3 children; sons Francis Marion who died in 1S92. Jay Williamson who lived at Stevenson. WA for years and who died in Port land in 1941 and their daughter Charlotte Scherzinger who died in I960. Almost all Scher lingers and Shipleys are buried in Heppner 's Masonic Cemetery. Henry Scherzinger was a versatile man. Besides being a blacksmith, he learned the leather trade and shoe repair ing and bought Into the Matt Lichenthal store (now Con tys. He was active in school supervision, was an early member of the Heppner vol unteer fire department, be longed to many lodges and operated his ranch until 1917 when he rented it and moved his family lo Heppner where daughter Rachel continued her schooling. They lived on Center St. where Charlotte and Rachel stayed on after his death and where Rachel relumed in 1960. There are a few other Scherzinger and Shipley rela tives living in Oregon and Washington, but Rachel Ha nelt and her son Melvin Harnett of Boise and his children Dawn. Sherrie and Sean are their only direct descendants. Rachel has contributed many antiques from her two pioneer families to the Mor row County Museum where she serves as curator.
