in any class; provided, also that for the purpose of this
subtitle, 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 service outside the State. The commissioners shall have
the power to apply that form of rating system in the
establishment of premiums which, in their judgment, is best
calculated to merit or individually rate the risk most equitably,
predicated upon the basis of their individual industrial accident
experience, and to encourage and stimulate accident prevention;
and shall develop fixed and equitable rules controlling such
merit or individual rates. The commissioners shall also have
power to establish and fix minimum premiums to be paid by any
employer insured or insuring in the State Accident Fund, and to
require the payment of the estimated premiums in advance. The
commissioners, in their administration of the State Accident
Fund, shall have the power to declare dividends to the
subscribers or policyholders in the [fund] FUND, either in the
form of cash refunds or credits, when the financial condition of
the Fund is such, in the judgment of the commissioners, as to
make such dividend declaration warranted and advisable.
