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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The `bank night' theater plan as set out in the answer of the defendant in this quo warranto action, and copied in the opinion, is held to include the three necessary elements of prize, chance and consideration, sufficient to make it a policy or scheme of drawing in the nature of a lottery as prohibited by article 15, section 3, of the constitution of the state of Kansas, and as described and defined in R.S. 21-1501.”
