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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Plaintiffs concede that in this day and age, with governmental functions becoming more and more complex, more and more powers are of necessity being delegated to administrative officials, and that the advisability of vesting more power in boards and agencies is solely a question for legislative decision. . . . As was said in State, ex rel., v. Urban Renewal Agency of Kansas City, 179 Kan. 435, 440 , 296 P. 2d 656 , the legislature may enact general provisions but leave to those who are to act certain discretion in ‘filling in the details’ so to speak, provided, of course, it fixes reasonable and definite standards which govern the exercise of such authority. On the same subject see State, ex rel., v. Fadely, 180 Kan. 652 , (Syl. 7), 308 P. 2d 537 .” (pp. 37-38.)”
