Reformer has frequently given voice.
No equitable distribution of tax burdens
will be possible until some central author
ity has the right to enforce a uniform
system of property valuation. 1t is
common report that many towns set their
valuations with a deliberate eye to max
ing their share of the state tax as small
as possible. and without a state equaliza-
ton board there appears to be no remedy
for this unsatisfactory situation.

counter attack. Stecher saw in the youth the making of a great head spin ner and urged the Lincoln boy to get into the game, agreeing to give him every possible aid.
 While Stecher's pet hold is recog- nized as the body scissors, he would have little success with this grip were it not for the wrist locks that he ap- plies simultaneously. So it is not sur prising that Sauer is a wrist lock spe cialiSt, recognized the master of this hold among American grapplers-and he first learned the hold from Stecher
 Is Wrist Lock Specialist
 Sauer uses a double wrist lock with precision and the way he clamps it on an opponent is caution. His grip is like that of vice, but Sauer is con siderate, especially when making the acquaintance of new friend. He realizes the tremendous power that lies in his hands and for this reason does not even close his giant "paw" when you slip your pigmy init into his.
 Sauer is in wonderful shape for his meeting with Berg. He went through a strenuous two-hour workout last evening and wasn't even breathing fast when he called it enough. He plans a public exhibition this afternoon at the American legion home near Five Points, where he will take on five or six Phoenix huskies.
 The advance seat sale for the open ing program at the Rose City arena is now under way and seats can be had at the Doyle cigar stand, Mack cigar stand, Pullman cigar stand and Ford soda shop.

4 B|G EVENTS SCHEDULEDFOR
 OPENING CARD
Two Boxing Bouts With Two F ast Grappling Matches Offered as Open ing Athletic Program at Beautiful New Rose City Arena Friday Night

Two fast boxing exhibitions, between 1 old favorites with Phoenix fans, and one wrestling bout, limited to 30 min- utes. have been arranged as the pre- liminary events to the Sauer- Berg fin ish catch s-catch-can match at the new Rose City athletic arena Friday evening. This program constitutes one of the finest athletic carnivals ever of fered for the approval of local fans The opening event of the program will be a four-round boxing bout be- tween Terrible Russo, 115 pounds and Rufus the Second, 115 pounds. These two local boys have electrified boxing fans time and again with their fighting qualities. Both are known for their ability to give and take punishment and they promise to show better than ever on re-entering the game after a long layoff. The semi final will bring Bobby McAdoo, 85 pounds, and Young Dougherty, s5 pounds, together in four-round match to determine the s5- pound championship of Arizona. Both boxing exhibitions are being staged by the American legion. Wrestling matches are also under the auspices of the Frank Luke, Jr., post
 Ralph King and Kid Carl will meet in a 30-minute wrestling bout as one of the preliminary events. Both of these grapplers are well known to local fans and should put up high class exhibi- tion. They will meet at 1S0 pounds.
 Much interest in Sauer Berg Go
 Interest in the program. of course, centers in the main event of the even ing, the Sauer- Berg match. Two of the fastest big men the game ever de- veloped will be brought together in this event and some real sensations can be expected.
 It will be a case of youth and strength matching wits against ex- perience and cunning, for Sauer is one of the youngest top-notchers in the game today, while his opponent, Dr. Berg, or Young Hackenschmidt, is rec ognized the shrewdest headspinner in the business, bar none. Berg has had all corners and he has stored away a cope with any situation and throw his opponent off guard long enough to per- init him to get in his best holds.
 Sauer Is Stecher Protege
 Sauer learned much of his wrestling from the master. Joe Stecher. world champion. Both are na- tive Nebraskans. and Sauer did not take to professional grappling until was in training in Nebraska for one of his championship matches back in 1917, when Sauer appeared on the scene in response to an appeal for husky young men to work out with the l champion.
