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 statute was passed in recognition of the moral obligation of the state to return moneys collected under a void taxation law. That the appropriation of money by the state for the purpose of discharging its moral obligations constitutes an appropriation for a public purpose, and is within legislative power, is neither challenged nor discussed in the briefs, and this very appropriately, as there is no judicial dissent from that proposition.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ITowever, by virtue of the control which the state has over its municipalities, it is generally held that the legislature may compel municipal corporations to recognize and pay debts or claims not_binding in strict law, and which for technical reasons could not be enforced in equity, but which nevertheless are just and equitable in their character and involve a moral obligation.” (Citing numerous cases.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[n]o appropriation shall be made for the payment of any claim against the state . . . unless filed within six years after the claim accrued.”
