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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Zilm v. Zoning Board of Adjustment, 260 Iowa 787, 794 , 150 N.W.2d 606 , 610 we observed that the trend of modern decisions is toward greater liberality in the setting of standards and to require less exactness in them in legislative enactments. In Elk Run Telephone Co. v. General Telephone Co., 160 N.W.2d 311, 316-317 (Iowa 1968) we quoted with approval this statement from Gilman v. City of Newark, 73 N.J.Super. 562 , 180 A.2d 365, 384 , ‘The mere fact that standards * * * are general rather than specific does not militate against their acceptance and validity. The exigencies of modern government have increasingly dictated the use of general rather than detailed standards in regulatory enactments. * * “Later in the Elk Run opinion we noted that ‘ * * * the important consideration is not whether the statute delegating the power expresses standards but whether the procedure established for the exercise of the power furnishes adequate safeguards to those who are affected by the administrative action.’ (emphasis in the original). “Our own decisions confirm the philosophy that the standards set up need not be exact or precise if general policy is defined. Elk Run Telephone Co. v. General Telephone Co., 160 N.W.2d at 316 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Legislative power is defined in Am. Jur.2d, supra, in this manner: “ ‘Purely legislative power, which can never be delegated has been described as the authority to make a complete law— complete as to time when it shall take effect and as to whom it shall be applicable —and to determine the expediency of its enactment.”
