The brake proportioning valve reduces the amount of pressure to the rear brakes because the rear brakes require less force than the front brakes.
The amount of braking force that can be applied to a wheel without locking it depends on the amount of weight on the wheel. More weight means more brake force can be applied. If equal braking force were applied to all four wheels during a stop, the rear wheels would lock up before the front wheels. The proportioning valve lets a certain portion of the pressure to the rear wheels so that the front wheels receive more braking force.
