The reasons why people questioned Taft's leadership include his signing of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff and his attempt at defending it, calling it the best bill the Republican Party has ever passed. More causes include him appointing the wealthy lawyer Richard A. Ballinger as his secretary, and also his firing of Pinchot while siding with Ballinger during the public lands dispute. I think the firing of Pinchot would upset most people today as public lands are important to many and Taft's position was against conservationist control.
