Opposition To General Sales Tax Mobilized In Mumford
Statewide opposition to a general sales tax is being organized from Mumford in Robertson County. Led by Mrs. Jud Collier and Mrs. Effie Rambo of Epenchley, the Texas Democratic Women's State Committee opposes the tax and plans a July 10 rally in Austin at Wooldridge Park to urge defeat of the proposal. Robert E. Crozier of the Texas Retail Grocers Association backs the effort, arguing the tax would raise food costs and burden 94,000 retailers, with the grocers' 7,000-member group long opposing the tax since 1959.

Robertson County Buys Strongly Despite Recession
Robertson County reports 1960 buying power of 17 618 000 with 4 097 per household, while retail sales reached 16 250 000. The local market outpaced some national areas, aided by non durable goods gains and service sectors, though autos and furniture lagged amid a recession. Outsider shopping appears to inflate the county’s buying power index beyond local spending. Hearne Western Week festivities begin with street events, rodeos, and a parade, featuring Queen Carol Altimore and princesses, leading to a weekend finale with rodeo contests and a Dalton Gang stage coach robbery reenactment.
