Richard Ballinger, appointed by President Taft as Secretary of the Interior, angered conservationists by attempting to open up previously protected public lands in Wyoming and Alaska for commercial development and private interests. His decision to reverse conservation policies implemented by his predecessor, Gifford Pinchot, and to lease large tracts of land to private companies sparked a significant backlash. This conflict culminated in a public rift between Ballinger and Pinchot, ultimately leading to a broader divide within the Republican Party regarding conservation issues.

As a historical figure, William Taft's favorite color is not explicitly documented in historical records. However, it is important to note that personal preferences such as favorite colors are subjective and can vary greatly among individuals. Without direct evidence or statements from Taft himself, any claims about his favorite color would be speculative at best.
The Ballinger-Pinchot Controversy left the impression that Taft was not interested in preserving the nation?s natural treasures. Taft disappointed many by the appointment of Richard Ballinger, to head the Department of the Interior in 1909.
