A Local Matter
Senate hearings Yesterday

OenaVe hearings yesterday on
amendments to the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Act brings
nearer to completion congressional
action which is long overdue in this
matter.
1t is to be hoped that favorable
report from the Senate District Com
mittee and Senate approval soon will
follow. For in considering this
measure for the District, the Con-
gress is acting as a local legislature
and the benefits which are sought
are the same benefits, in general,
that the Legislatures of thirty-six of
the States already have provided for
their constituents and that will be
provided in four additional States
before the end Of the year.
The most debatable feature Of the
amendments, in the past, is the
switch from the so-called fiat-rate
principle Of taxing employers for un-
employment insurance to the expe-
rience-rating principle, under which
tax rates are fixed on the basis of
employment records. The relatively
small degree OF opposition to this
change comes, in the main, from
those who favor the flat-rate prin-
ciple of taxation for the Nation. They
would, in other words, prefer that
the District remain on the fiat-rate
principle-even though the tax may
