Competition for Tourist Dollar
Creates ‘War Between the States’
WESTERN AUTO STORE
The Texas tourist industry
continued its headlong decline
during 1960.
The Lone Star State lost a
million out-of-state visitors last
year, according to the 1960
Texas Tourist Industry Report
released today by the Texas
Highway Department.
The total number of tourists
visiting Texas last year dwindl-
ed to 8.6 million, as compared
with 9.6 million in 1959. Tour-
ists spent a total of $457 million
in Texas during 1960, a figure
well below the state’s peak
tourist year, 1957.
Herbert C. Petry Jr. of Carri-
zo Springs, chairman of the
Texas Highway Commission,
said he is “deeply disturbed” at
the consistently downward trend
of the Texas tourist industry in
recent years.
“Tourism is a vital factor in
the economy of our state,” Petry
said. “Tourists pay $17 million
annually in direct state taxes.
The decrease in our tourist trade
means a loss of millions of new
dollars to our economy and a
drain on our tax resources.” He
said the sharp year-to-year de-
cline in tourism since- 1957 is
the direct result of aggressive
competition from other states.
“We are engaged in a ‘war
between the states’ for the
tourist dollar,” he said.
However, Petry said he sees
a “silver lining” to the tourist
situation. He pointed out that
the current session of the Texas
Legislature is how studying a
budget request for $300,000 a
y6ar for the next biennium to
be used for tourist advertising.
When appropriated by the Leg-
islature this money would be
administered by the Highway
Department, which is the state’s
official tourist agency.
Texas needs this tourist ad-
vertising budget to get back in
the competition for the tourist
dollar,” Petry said. “When the
Legislature approves our media
advertising budget, for the first
time in history we will be able
to compete with other states by
advertising Texas’ tourist re-
sources.
“When Texas enters this
field,” Petry said, “the experi-
ence of other states indicates
that a handsome profit could
be reaped.” He said New Mex-
ico gets back $34 in state taxes
for each dollar spent for tourist
advertising and that Arkansas
gets back $40 in taxes for each
advertising dollar. “Some other
states get even larger returns,”
he said, “since tourists general-
ly buy those items which carry
the stiffest taxes.”
The Highway Commission
chairman said the Highway De-
partment’s Travel and Informa-
tion Division is now doing all
possible “within the limits fix-
ed by law” to attract tourists.
The 1960 Tourist Industry Re-
port reflects this activity, he
said. “Although the number of
visitors fell off a full million,
the tourists who did come stay-
ed longer and spent more—en-
couraged by the travel informa-
tion services offered by High-
way Department Tourist Bu-
reaus plus the cooperative ef-
forts of local organizations.”

Well, herb It is Monday after
the Colt Show and Rodeo and
there isn’t much news in the
little capital City. Everybody
from this part of the county
went to Paducah both days to
watch and take part in the
events.
I think Donald Hurt is the
only one from King County that
won any money. He placed in
both go-rounds of the bare-
back riding, but he isn’t the
only one that had any fun. I
haven’t talked to anyone yet
that didn’t have a good time
and enjoyed themselves. School
turned out Friday at 1:00 so
the kids could go see the pa-
rade.
I don’t know much about
rodeos but I think that Pa-
ducah’s was bigger and better
than any of the past seven
years I have been going.
Guthrie played McAdoo in a
baseball game at Guthrie on
Thursday, April 27, and beat
them by a score of 19-8.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cul-
pepper and daughters visited
their son, Jack Culpepper, at
Boys Ranch at Amarillo Sunday.
Mrs. Pete Hensley’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Travis Manley of
Paducah, came down and had
supper with her Saturday night.
I hear tell that Royce Mc-
Laury lost a lot of sleep at the
rodeo. He went to the dances
both night.

woman to make a home.”
