The great stumbling block in the way of lcgislation, it is agreed, is a legi lative distinction hetween specula- tion and investment. While Senator King intends to introduce his bill on the opening day of the forthcoming extra ses- sion of congress leaders have littie expectation of pressing for legisia- tion of this character at this time. Senator King would also authorize reserve board banks to demand in- creased interest rates on loans for purely speculative purposes, \d would prohibit the use of the mails for the cireulation of stock market matter.
