Munn v. Illinois, 94 US 113 (1877)
The question that the case was concerned with was whether a state could regulate charges for grain elevators. This is expanded - using the idea that a state has the right to regulate commerce within that state - to the fact that if a private utility is used in the public good, it should be regulated by the state, as the state is acting on behalf of the people's interest.

Who did the Supreme Court favor in the Skokie Case?
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that considered the planned Skokie march by the National Socialist Party of America to be a matter of free speech. Thus, the National Socialist Party of America was allowed to march in Skokie and use the swastika as a symbol during their march. (Ultimately, no march was held in Skokie, rather in surrounding neighborhoods). Correction: Skokie case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was considered the "easy case" because precedent from past 1st Amendment issues would have easily overturned the Illinois State Supreme Court ruling
