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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The sale of intoxicating liquor, in our State, is unlawful. Punitive sanctions or penalties are imposed against violators. Section 2613, Code 1942. Courts may require a bond to keep the peace also. Section 2596, Code 1942. In aid of the enforcement of the law, additional remedies are afforded: (1) The recovery of a $500 tax or penalty by the state and county. Section 2639, Code 1942. (2) The suppression of the place as a nuisance. Section 2640, Code 1942. And (3) the collection of the so-called Black Market Tax of 10%. Chapter 139, Laws of 1944. * * * * * * The State's failure to prosecute some of the offenders against its laws does not exempt all others from the consequences of their acts. The operator of an unlawful business, who fails to pay the tax required of him, cannot be heard to complain if other lawful penalties are exacted. Nor can he justly claim discrimination if like penalties are not imposed against others who have never defaulted in the payment of their Black Market Tax.”
