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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The resale tax deeds are void on their face because they do not affirmatively recite facts showing the right of the county treasurer to bid off the property in the name of the county. “S. L. 1939, p. 547, sec. 5, (68 O. S. 1941 § 432 d), authorizes the county treasurer to bid off property in the name of the county only in cases where there are no other bidders. He may not be a competitive bidder. He must wait until all others have failed or refused to bid on the land. The resale tax deed must contain a recital showing the right of the county to purchase at such tax sale, and, unless the deed coatains such recital, it is void on its face.””
