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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2. ““The purchase by the county is an affair of theory,, requiring for its consummation no palpable act of any officer. The only contract involved is a constructive- one. The new relation of the county to the property results by operation of law. In the absence of statutory provision, doubtless the transaction is not one that would need to be recited in order to show jurisdiction to issue a tax deed. . . . But because the legislature has seen fit to include a reference to it in the prescribed form it may not be ignored in the deed.” (Penrose v. Cooper, 71 Kan. 720, 722 , 81 Pac. 489 .)”

3. ““Where a tax deed has been of record for more than five years it will not be held to be void because of the omission of express recitals required by the statute, if the substance of such omitted recitals can. be supplied by inferences fairly to be drawn,from statements elsewhere made in the deed, by giving to the language employed a liberal interpretation to that end.” (Syllabus.)”
