Did you ever stop to consider
the economic value of hunting and
fUhlng In Texas?
Some people think of these two
great outdoor sports as signifi-
cant only to tourist courts, camp
operators, marine services, and
similar businesses located along
the ooast or near our lakes and
Streams,
Not so.
It doesn't matter where you live,
tf you are in business you'll bene-
fit, as some of the two hundred
million dollars that hunters and
fishermen spend in Texas every
year comes to you, directly Maybe
you've got a business statistics
expert handy who can tell you,
offhand, the Indirect benefits
cents par pound, the total was
worth $16,609 600 — and that, my
Inend, la economic value,
You can eat it, too.
Mo t of the suit water fishermen
went to the Galveston-Freeport
area (SU'D or the Corpus Chrlstl-
Aran.stts Pass area <36•. ). Hut all
I sections of the Coast had their
I visitors.
Out of every one hundred per-
sons, 22 traveled 99 miles or less
to reach their favorite fishing
spot, Six percent toured 100 to 199
miles. Four percent moved 200 to
299 miles. And three percent
wandered 300 miles or more from
home base
I didn't pick that two hundred
million dollar figure out of the
air. A few years ago the Texas
Game and Fish Commission em-
Fishlng from a bout Is the most
popular method along the coast,
with pier and Jettv fishing next,
and wading or surf fishing third

five million dollars, or more since
that time
If the total figure doesn't im-
press you, consider this fact. Tox-
«ns spend twice as much money
to hunt and fish as they do for
admission to all football, baseball.
or salt
time.
water fish, at the same
Serious hunters make theirs a
sear round sport too. When it Is
out of season for some species,
they go hunting for rabbits, squir-
rels, crows, or varmints They may
unlimber the gun for a little trap
and basketball games, all other shooting or they may take
spectator sports, all movies and all
other stage attractions combined.
I mean the sum total of all of
them!
Research also reveals that the
hunting and fishing b'll of Texans
is greater than the total amount
spent for medical care, plus dental
rare, plus hospitalization Insur-
ance.
Here is another interesting fart
. ... 27': of all Texans twelve
years of age and older go fishing
or hunting every year The biggest
group Is fishermen — 15%.
Here’s how the angler’s dollar
was spent: 65 emits for the trip;
15 cents miscellaneous:32 6 cents
for equipment; and 1.2 cents for
licenses.
The hunter's dollar went like
this: 35 cents for the trip; 13 Scents
for miscellaneous; 45 cents for
ecurpment; and 4.5 cents tor
1.cense*.
Take your town — any town.
In every other household there
Is at least one hunter or fisherman,
or both. When these men and
women start for the outdoors,
they must ha"e suppl es. food,
clothing, equipment, gasoline, and
mr.ny other necessities, for the
trip.
Your town may be far from the
river, lake, or coa t, but there are
hunters and fishermen In your
town, by the hundreds. Not only
that, but other hunters and fisher-
men pass through your town on
the highway. Tluv eat at the cafes
Sometimes they spend the night
at your hotel or tourist eourt
They buy ice, fishhooks, flashlight
batteries refreshments, cigars, c cu-
rettes, chew ng tobacco playing
cards, artificial lures, ammunition,
sunglasses, aspirin, and who knows
What else?
Now, Just to be sure that, we're
not placing too much emphasis
on one survey, let's turn to another
and see what we find This one
token by Beldon Associates ot Dal-
las. It has to do with salt water
sport fishing in Texas.
Over a period of one year three-
quarter of a million Texans fished
in the salt waters of the state
the
trusty twenty-two rifle out for a
bit of target practice.
Hunting and fishing are high
on the list of attractions that lure
tourists to Texas.
Our hunting is excellent We can
point with pride to the Hill Coun-
tr' deer and turkey, to our fine
dove and quail shooting: and to
the duck and geese hunting along
the coast.
Our fishing Is unsurpassed
"They bite every day" on the
coast — is no exaggeration In
our lakes, rivers, streams, and larm
ponds, there are unlimited bass,
crippe, bream, and catfish.
Summing it up Texas has
hunting and f shlng resources ga-
lore — economic values that hard-
ly have been touched

1 sincerely hope that Ids figures
are more corns t this year than
they have been in some previous
years. For trutunce, it ,wns estima-
ted by the President for the 1958
Fiscal year that receipts would
reducing ex- I amount to *72 4 billion and that
expenditures would amount to
672.8 billion, leaving a deficit of
$400 million However, the actual
figure* subsequently proved that
the receipts amounted to only *67 1
billion and the expenditures
Another cave ,t hand is that on
January 13 ,1958 the President es-
timated that the receipts for 1959
Fiscal year would be $74 4 billion
and that the expenditures would
be $73,9 billion, leaving a surplus
of $500 million However, on Jan-
uary 1, 1959 this estimate had un-
dergone some changes, At that
time the President estimated that
the receipts for fiscal 1959 would
be only $08 million and that the
expenditures would be *80 9 bil-
lion. leaving a deficit of $129 bil-
lion. This Is Just to show you that
high .sounding, honeyed words
about government f nancing do not
prevent an estimated surplus from
changing Into a staggering deficit
And words alone are not going to
balance the budget.
The fact is that the national
debt lias been Increased In the
past, several years by almost $20
billion This Increase has been due
to the actions of the same people
who claimed to be advocating re-
ductions in expenditures and bal-
anced budgets. Let us all hope that
we can gel the actions and the
word* coordinated this time and
set the record straight.

I was greatly encouraged by
ome of the early remark* In the
'resident * me- <ge, which I quote
"Our surplus from foreign bus-
tiers transactions ha* In recent
ears fallen substantially short of
he expenditures we make abroad
o maintain our mll tiry citableFl-
uents overseas, t r finance private I
Investment, and to provide nrsht-
•ice to the less developed nations
'n 1969 our deficit Iri balance of
nvrncnU approached $4 billion,
"Continuing deficits of anyth ng
ke tills mu'll tude would, over j
lime, Impair our own economic
growth and check the forward
progress of the free world "
These remarks Indicate that the I
Executive department is well aware '
of one ol the most dangerous j
problems which we will fare In the
next deride.
The President had said earlier
In his speech:
' . we note that recent Soviet
deportment and pronouncements |
suggest the possible opening of
omewtiat less strained period In
th" relationship* between the So
