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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tlic first objection to tills act is that It Is amendatory of chapter 50, Comp. St., and is not complete in itself, and does not repeal chapter 50. The act in question docs not purport to change any part of chaivfcer 50 of the Compiled Statutes, but simply adds thereto additional provisions which are to be incorporal (Hi in chapter 50 as sections 21 and 22. This is not prohibited by the constitution. The Compiled Statutes were printed under authority of law, and were supposed to contain a correct compilation of the laws in force in the state when the book was published. Being a standard book, the legislature, in amending a statute, may refer to a particular part of the statute set forth in such work. All that is required in such ease is a reasonable degree of certainty as to the statute to be amended.””
