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.

““Construing all these provisions together they amount to this, that for general-revenue purposes the tax levy is limited to one per cent. For all city purposes it is limited to four per cent.

A judgment is of course a debt.” (p. 124.)”
