Letter from Gifford Pinchot to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Ball, Max W. (Max Waite), 1885-1954

Gifford Pinchot writes to Theodore Roosevelt about the passage of the Walsh Bill. Max W. Ball and his colleagues are opposed to the Bill because it does not give large enough units to private corporations for development. When opponents to the Walsh Bill mention Standard Oil, “they want to be in on the grabbing themselves,” says Pinchot.
