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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Now the power to supervise the rates, fares or charges exacted by a street railway corporation for the transportation of persons, and the regulations or practices of such corporation affecting rates, rests exclusively with the Public Service Commission. [Sec. 10456 E. S. 1919.] Consequently the provisions of the charter of St. Louis pur-porting to confer such power on it or its board of aldermen are void. [State ex rel. v. Public Service Commission, 270 Mo. 429 .] And ordi-nances in conflict with the Public Service Commission Law, whether enacted pursuant to charter provisions or not, are likewise void.””
