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.

The major figures involved in the Alaskan purchase were U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward, who advocated for the acquisition, and Russian Minister to the United States Eduard de Stoeckl, who negotiated the sale. The transaction took place in 1867, when the U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. This move was initially criticized but later recognized for its strategic and economic value.
