19. It shall be the duty of the Commissioner1 to classify any industries,
subject to this Article mentioned or not mentioned which are insured in
the State Accident Fund. And the Commission shall have power on or
before the first day of January of each year to reclassify such industries,
or oftener, if, in the opinion of the Commission, the same should be
deemed just and advantageous; or to create additional classifications with
respect to their respective degrees of hazard and determine the risk of the
different classes, and fix the rates of premium for each class, according to
the risks of the same sufficiently large to guarantee a workmen's com-
pensation fund from year to year. It shall be the duty of the Com-
mission in determining the rates, in order to create a fund sufficiently
large to guarantee a workmen's compensation fund from year to year to
also reclassify from time to time the industries or occupations, in order
that there may be a flexible adjustment of the rates as the hazard fluctu-
ates, and to use all means in their power through the rate adjustment to
lessen the opportunities for injuries to the workmen. The classification
so determined and the rates of premium established shall be applicable for
such year unless a reclassification should, in the opinion of the Com-
mission, necessitate a change of rate within such year; and based on each
one hundred dollars of the gross annual payroll of each employer in any
class; provided, also, that for the purpose of this sub-title the pay of the
employee partly within and partly without the State shall be deemed to
be such proportion of the total pay of such employee as his service within
the State bears to his services outside the State. The State Industrial
Accident Commission shall have the power to apply that form of rating
system in the establishment of premiums which, in its judgment, is best
calculated to merit or individually rate the risk most equitably, predicated
