Teapot Dome in a New Light
Posted by Steven P. Sanders under Conversations, Statements, and QuotationsThe contributor’s fifteen-year-old brother wrote the following in an essay about the Teapot Dome Scandal:
Albert Fall [Secretary of Inerter] or he’s in charge of natural recourses. Since he makes $12,000 and he fixed his ranch, and since he brought land worth $125,000 so that doesn’t make sense.
Fall sold government property to oil companies. He sold it for thousands of dollars in cash, bonds, and lives stock. This will be known as the Teapot Scandal.
He was fined $100,000 dollars
