OKLAHOMA CITY (UP) Roger
Payne, the "hobo philosopher," offers
a four-point program for America
that easily lces top place among
any of the movements to the left.
He proposes: , , .,, ,
A one-day work week.
A minimum wago of 850 a week.
Work for those who wish it.
Travel and study for leisure time.
Payne, holdor, of two degrees from
Cambridge -rflilcge. England, cites
himself as an example of what
man can do by working no more
than 50 days a year.
He points out that for many years
as a gentleman farmer In England
he worked 50 days each year, and .
kept his books balanced.
The trouble with the present sys
tem, as he sees It, Is that Americans
are work crazy.
"All we know Is work. All we do
Is work." And with that he advances
his plan of a one-day work week.
He figures that two days of ths
workers' week go to pay profits. In
terest and rent of those who own
land and machines.
Another two days are taken up by
waste. The waste Is accounted for
In Inefficient machinery. Idle ma
chinery, crime, harmful drugs and
general foollshnej, Payne argues.
Under his heading of "general
foolishness" come those persons en
gaged in such occupations as pack
ing btrd seed for canarle.
His statistics show one-fifth of the
population unemployed.
Thus, If the worker could rid him
self of the two days he works for
the capltnllet, two days for waste,
and share his work with those who
are unable to find employment, then
the one-day work week would result,
as Payne theorizes.
The 850-a-week waire scale was
selected arbitrarily. Payne says a
workman needa that much money
to fit Into the new scheme prop
erly. Payne himself works a few days
at farming or berry picking to de
fray his expenses. He carries a pack
on hla back with bed clothing and
cooking utensils.
He Is not snd does not Intend
to be a candidate for public office.
