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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The inquiry will also be aided by another rule, that if the valuation of any one of the necessary elements of the public service plant is fixed by the rate-making authorities at an amount unjustly and unreasonably low in a substantial amount, or if the value of an element of substantial value used and useful in maintaining or operating such a plant is entirely omitted by the rate-fixing authority, such unreasonable and unjust valuation or omission of valuation is the taking of private property for a public use without just compensation.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Van Dyke v. Geary““In the meantime the status quo should be maintained. In making this order, however, we must take into consideration the possibility that upon a careful consideration of all the facts in the case the court may reach the conclusion that the findings and orders of the Corporation Commission are substantially correct, and for that contingency we must require security that will fully protect the customers of the company in their rates. This is an embarrassing and a difficult problem to "deal with.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““These allegations of the complaint and the provisions of the Arizona statute to which reference Is made appear to bring this case within the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Ex parte Young, 209 U. S. 128 -144 [ 28 Sup. Ct. 441 , 52 L. Ed. 714 , 13 L. R. A. (N. S.) 932 , 14 Ann. Cas. 764]; but, as the jurisdiction of this court is otherwise complete, we will not stop to discuss that feature of the ease.””
