We lived in bigger houses, drove bigger cars and enjoyed bigger meals. Those were the days when we pro moted the United Nations and NATO and watched the USSR tighten its cen tral control. We saw the United States get bigger and bigger in our lives with the new deal, “ Ask not what your na tion can do for you, ask what you can do for your nation,” and a whole suc cession of buzz words. Little corporations grew to multina tionals and cities across the country grew to megalopolises. Bigger was better and consolidations, mergers, and growth through ab sorption was the order of the day. While there was some idea that bigger came about by internal growth, most of the bigger came from swallowing up the smaller. And everyone was on the band wagon. Every retail merchant hoped against hope for the day he could sell out to the big chain, because that s where all the folks wanted to shop. Working men and women dreamed for the day they could get on with the biggest town around and they all went to the biggest 4th of July celebration they could find. Well, we’ve seen other instances of the swinging pendulum and now it looks like bigger is not necessarily better anymore. The Soviet Union is falling apart. NATO is on the skids, the U.S. Supreme Court is shifting more and more power back to the States, and every little splinter group is breaking away to form a new organization of one kind or another. Big organized churches are giving way to the independent locals, big organized political parties are seeing splinters drop like flies, more and more shoppers are looking for mom and pop specialty shops and folks are looking for a quaint cottage in the country. Oh, to be sure, the shift is not complete, McDonald’s still serves billions of burgers and K-Mart still sells millions of the same pattern dress. But the trend is set and there are more and more examples. Like East Central Oregon Association of Counties (ECOAC). Original ly organized to provide specialized development and planning services, ECOAC went through that bigger is better movement and took on the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) for consolidated administration purposes. Now that there’s a little administrative friction, we hear such inane statements as “ ECOAC has done a good job, but we (AAA) should break away." No one has advanced a significant criticism of ECOAC in the man ner in which it has administered the AAA or JTPA programs. Nevertheless folks now say that social programs are incompatible with economic development. It’s all part of that current perception that a small, very specialized organization is better than a large, multi-faceted one. There’s no real pro of of that, of course, it’s just a perception that is beginning to gain the attention of folks the world over. The old theory about economics of scale are lost in today’s mood about doing one's own thing. Some administration costs are the same no matter how big or small the organization is. That means two organizations will double those costs over one organization. But then fewei and fewer folks have even heard of Adam Smith, much less studied his theories of economics. As I see it, the split up o f ECOAC will be a mistake, from the point of view of efficient delivery of services. That’s true whether its social ser vices for the aged or development services for private industry. But given the current trend toward “ small and specialized is better” ECOAC should be dismantled immediately. Doubling the administrative cost (at the ex pense of providing service) is worth the peace both sides would gain. The factions should go their own way, so each can get on with going their own way.
