Commission the amount of payroll upon which the premium under this
Article is based, shall be liable to the Commission in ten times the amount
of the difference in the premium paid and the amount the employer should
have paid. The liability to the Commission under this provision shall be

which has been certified to the Attorney General for collection may be
settled or compromised when it shall appear to the Attorney General, the
Comptroller of the State and the Chairman of the State Industrial Acci-
dent Commission that such settlement or compromise is to the best interest
