William Taft's Secretary of the Interior was Richard A. Ballinger. He was involved in a scandal regarding the sale of Alaskan coal lands, which led to allegations of corruption and conflicts of interest. Ballinger's actions were criticized by conservationists and members of the Taft administration, most notably Gifford Pinchot, the Chief of the Forest Service. Ultimately, Taft's decision to side with Ballinger resulted in Pinchot's dismissal and public outcry, leading to Ballinger's eventual resignation in 1911.
