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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The board within limits is authorized to' adopt rules and regulations. SDC 27.1403, as amended by Chap. 102, Laws 1939, § 3 and Chap. 124, Laws 1947. The authority conferred is administrative, not legislative, and rules adopted in contravention of the statute are invalid. In re Dakota Transportation, [Inc., of Sioux Falls], 67 S.D. 221 , 291 N.W. 589 . Nowhere in the statute governing the licensing of embalmers and funeral directors is it provided that the holder of a license in another state, to be entitled to a license without examination, must have been engaged in the occupation of an embalmer or funeral director for a period of not less than two years before making application in this state and reciprocity is not a condition imposed by statute. The board is without pow- ■ er to add to the statutory requirements. It cannot impose upon an applicant the two-year requirement.” .”
