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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The current statute, 68 O.S. 1971 § 2481.1 provides for and requires valuation at regular intervals. All property must be valued every five years under the last cited section. If such revaluation proceeds through the several classes of property in the same order as the last, all property will be valued every five years and it does not matter where the process begins, but § 2481.1 clearly provides that the process must be begun again every five years. All property is revalued regularly and that process must have a starting point." (Emphasis added).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"[E]qual treatment is established by regular, cyclical revaluation. The equality of such a system as it operates on the taxpayer is afforded by revaluation every five years, for if one class of property is revalued first in this five year valuation, and revalued last in the next cycle, unequal treatment would be inflicted on the citizenry, as one class would be valued only after ten years had passed."”
