Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our Constitution, as is .seen, provides that every law which imposes a tax must state the object to which it is to be applied. In this law the object was stated, and it is found that, within the express terms of the Constitution, the moneys arising from it cannot be so applied. This must defeat the whole act, for it is impossible for this court to say that any part of the act would have met the approval of the Legislature, had the moneys arising from the tax been appropriated in the act as provided by the Constitution. It is safe to say that, if the Legislature had supposed these moneys arising from the tax could not be appropriated to the general state fund, and made applicable to the general expenses of the state government, the act would not have met with the legislators’ approval.. For these reasons, we think the whole act must, be held void.””
