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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is unquestioned power in the legislature to impose a license tax on occupations, whether it be laid for regulation or purposes of revenue. . . . Being a license tax, the express constitutional restrictions as to equality and uniformity of rate do not apply, and the amount of the tax, as well as the method of imposing it, is left to legislative judgment and discretion. ... If the license tax imposed were flagrantly unreasonable, unjust, and oppressive, courts might properly interfere; but we have no such case before us.” (p. 640.)”
