Although Archie Wallace McFarlane remained in the wholesale coal business all his life, it was his career in the legislature for which he was best known. His legislative career began in 1914 when he was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives. He was re-elected in 1914, 1916, 1918, and 1920. In 1926, McFarlane was elected to the Iowa Senate and for the terms 1928 and 1930 was lieutenant governor of Iowa. Again elected to the House of Representatives in 1932, McFarlane was re-elected in 1934, 1938, 1940, 1942, 1944, 1946, 1950, and 1952. In 1954, he was elected again to the Iowa Senate. He became the first person to represent the new senatorial district composed of Black Hawk County alone.
McFarlane also was president of the Waterloo Baseball Association. In 1959, Arch McFarlane State Park was dedicated east of LaPorte City. This 75-acre wooded tract on the Cedar River was dedicated to McFarlane in recognition of his service to conservation.
