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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been held repeatedly that where there is conflict between a statute dealing generally with a subject and another statute dealing specifically with a certain phase of it, the specific legislation controls (Harkrader v. Whitman, 142 Kan. 186 , 46 P. 2d 1 ) and that where there is repugnancy between a special statute and a general statute, the special statute will prevail (In re Estate of Park, 147 Kan. 142 , 75 P. 2d 842 ; Smith v. Henry, 155 Kan. 283 , 124 P. 2d 448 ; Sherman County Commrs v. Alden, 158 Kan. 487 , 148 P. 2d 509 , 152 A. L. R. 881; Wyandotte County Commrs v. Ferguson, 159 Kan. 80 , 151 P. 2d 694 ).””
