      The Frank Zappa album The Man from Utopia includes the track “Tink Walks Amok,” which is an athletic study in syncopation and polyrhythms. It’s a cool track. I’ve owned the LP since its initial release in 1983 and heard it first on my elder brothers’

      ARGUMENTS

      BEFORE THE

      COMMITTEE ON PATENTS

      OF THE

      HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

      ON

      H. R. 11943,

      TO AMEND TITLE 60, CHAPTER 3, OF THE REVISED

      STATUTES OF THE UNITED STATES

      RELATING TO COPYRIGHTS.

      MAY 2, 1906.

      COMMITTEE ON PATENTS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

      FIFTY-NINTH CONGRESS.

      WASHINGTON:

      GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.

      1906.

      ARGUMENT (CONTINUED) ON H. R. 11943, TO AMEND TITLE 60, CHAPTER 3, OF REVISED STATUTES OF THE UNITED STATES, RELATING TO COPYRIGHTS.

      Committee on Patents,

      House of Representatives,

      Washington, D.C., May 3, 1906.

      The committee met at 11 o'clock a.m., Hon. Frank D. Currier (chairman) in the chair.

      The Chairman. I have received a telegram regarding the bill now before the committee from John Philip Sousa, which reads as follows:

      Northampton, Mass.

      , May 3, 1906.

      The Chairman and Members of Congress,

      Committee on Patents, Washington, D.C.:

      Earnestly request that the American composer receives full and adequate protection for the product of his brain; any legislation that does not give him absolute control of that he creates is a return to the usurpation of might and a check on the intellectual development of our country.

      John Philip Sousa.

      STATEMENT OF MR. A. R. SERVEN, ATTORNEY FOR THE

      MUSIC PUBLISHERS' ASSOCIATION—Continued.

      Mr. Serven. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, during the last hundred years and more the inventors of the country have been liberally dealt with by the lawmakers, and the result is to-day no country in the world stands higher in everything in the line of mechanical and industrial development than the United States does, and I think you gentlemen who have this matter of patents in charge may justly take pride in yourselves that your committee in the past has done such magnificent work for the wealth, the prosperity, and the reputation, and the ability of the United States at home and abroad. It is conceded, I think, to-day all over the world that the American inventor is the most industrious, the most ingenious, and is the most valuable part of the real wealth of the United States, and that is so because from the very start the laws have been most liberal to protect the American inventor for every bit of the right of property which he could possibly have in anything that is the creation of his brain and his genius.

      Now, unfortunately, as I remarked yesterday, the record is not just that way in regard to the musical inventors—if I may use that term—of the United States, and that, and that alone, is the reason why we have to-day almost no names of composers that have a world-wide reputation. Perhaps the sender of the telegram we have just heard read is as well known in other countries as any composer we have; possibly his music has been heard by more people than the music of any other composer of the United States; and yet the musical critics all over the world say America has no national music because she has no national composers. It is true that there is not in existence to-day, perhaps, a single ambitious musical drama that can claim popularity and reputation that may be expected to be handed down as one of the musical classics that had as its composer a citizen of
