Robert W. Lem- bills passed by the Legislature, then the Republican majorities in the House and Senate will be able to give it final approval. Mickelson has said the tax freeze will provide the state time to reach a consensus on how to improve the fairness of South Dakota's tax struct ture. He also says state officials must use the freeze period to look for ways of reducing spending by state and local government agencies, correcting problems with the assessment of property values, and revamping the formula used to divide state aid among school districts. Republicans argue that the bill sends a message to South Dakotans that local property taxes and state taxes won't be raised while the Legislature works on tax reform.

But Democrats have argued that the freeze really doesn't do much, and they believe the Legislature should tackle tax reform now instead of waiting. They also contend it would be better to freeze state spending, rather than limit state taxes. The House amendment that freezes state taxes, such as the sales tax, accomplishes little because the Legislature next year can pass any tax measure it wants with a two-thirds vote, Democrats said. "It further attempts to perpetrate a hoax on the people of South Dakota," Sen. Leonard Andera, D-Chamberlain, said in Saturday's debate.

Even though property taxes will be frozen, counties will be able to collect more revenue by imposing a wheel tax on vehicles and cities will be able to raise their sales taxes, Andera said. Senate Democratic Leader Roger McKellips of Alcester said the House amendment is unnecessary because the Legislature has no intention of raising state taxes. PIERRE, S.D. (AP) Gov. George Mickelson's proposed two-year freeze on property taxes was stalled in the state Senate on Saturday as the Democratic minority refused to support the measure.

On a straight party-line vote, the Senate failed to agree to amendments the House had made in the bill that passed the Senate earlier. All 20 Republican senators voted in favor of the bill, which required a two-thirds majority of 24 votes to pass. All 15 Democratic senators voted to block final approval of the tax freeze, which they called a meaningless hoax. The Senate's failure to accept the House amendments means a negotiating committee of three senators and three House members will now try to negotiate a version of the bill acceptable to both chambers. If Democrats don't agree to a reasonable compromise, Republicans probably will change the bill to require only a simple majority and then will give it final approval, Senate Republican Leader George Shanard of Mitchell said.

"I think that's probably what will happen unless I get a different signal from the Democrats," Shanard said. The bill originally passed the Senate calling only for a two-year freeze on local property taxes. It says taxes payable on a piece of property in 1990 and 1991 cannot exceed taxes payable on that property this year. But the House changed the measure so it also freezes the rates of state taxes and prohibits the creation of any new state taxes during the two-year period. The House also added a provision that would let the bill take effect immediately, and that provision requires that the measure pass by a two-thirds majority.

If the bill is changed so it takes effect July 1, the same date as most merma nn officiating. Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery under direction of Meyer Brothers Colonial Chapel. There will be no Jack M. Rolfes Jack M. Rolfes, 74, Indian Hills Care Center, died Saturday at his residence.

1988 drought shrinks number of rabies cases Don Zimmer, Owner Creative Carpets 3713 E. Gordon Drive decrease between 1987 and 1988 would not fit into the cyclic nature of the disease. So far this year, 26 rabid animals have been reported compared to 21 cases during the same period last year, he said. In 1988, 96 cases of skunk rabies were reported in the state, the highest of all animals. Dogs are required to be licensed at four months, which includes immunization.

Cats are not required to be immunized in Iowa, he said. But cats with rabies are likely to become very aggressive and bite, whereas dogs with the virus are not, he said. In 1988, none of the 16 cats with rabies had been vaccinated. Of the 15 dogs, two had expired vaccinations and 13 had not been vaccinated. An animal that has fought with a skunk and has not been immunized probably ought to be destroyed, Currier said.

The disease cannot be effectively stopped once an animal has it, he said. Seventy-five people were treated for possible rabies in 1988, and all of those cases were from biles from cats or dogs, Currier said. DES MOINES (AP) One of the lesser known and brighter sides to Iowa's severe drought last year is that it was accompanied by a 35.7 percent decline in the number of reported rabies cases, state health officials say. The number of animals reported to have rabies plunged to 175 in 1988 from 272 the previous year, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. "All I can do is speculate that the very dry summer was stressful on small animals," said Russell Currier, state public health veterinarian.

"Their survival dropped so we had less of our base reservoir species." State wildlife officials said the dry weather probably killed a lot of insects a primary source of food for skunks Rabies is spread primarily through skunks, Currier said. He added that Iowa probably can expect an increase in the number of rabies cases this year because of the cyclic nature of the virus. Reported cases earlier this decade include 529 in 1980, 889 in 1981, 390 in 1982, 201 in 1983, 150 in 1984, 150 in 1985, and 192 in 198(1.
