J This bill, one of a series fb be Introduced affecting the unem ployment insurance act, might be come controversial if opponents of experience- rating sought to block it : to further their own cause.

Would Itednce Tax The experience ' rating sections provide that an employer must have an 8 , per cent reserve to reduce bis state tax to 2 per cent instead of the present 2.7 per .cent.- Further reductions may be bad ,when the reserve reaches 10 per cent and 12 per cent of the average annual payroll.
