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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We cannot concede that the reasoning on which this conclusion is based has any application to the instant case, for here we find that at the time of the passage of this so-called local statute, _ confined in its effect solely to Ellis county,’ there was a general statute effective in all the counties of the state, including Ellis county, prescribing when county assessors should be elected and their term of office; so, if we should undertake to resort to the adjudication of the Legislature as to the necessity of a special act and hold that adjudication is controlling, we find that the Legislature had long since adjudged that the general act could be made applicable to the subject-matter before the legislative body.””
