Answer:

The Supreme Court decided that states could regulate private property (including railroads) when it represents an attack on the public interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Eventually, the supreme court ruled that the state has the legitimate right to impose price regulations on private companies. This case involved the right of the state to regulate prices by private companies for the storage of grain but later it also directly affect the constitutionality of state railroad regulation.
