Few complaints seem as regular - and fruitless - than those hurled at Arizona elected officeholders alleged to have violated the state's resign-to-run law aimed at keeping officials occupied with the job they have and not the job they want. Created through a 1980 ballot referendum and supported through various statute changes since then, resign-to-run laws in Arizona are intended to limit lawmakers' bids for other elected positions until they are in the last year of their terms.

A proposed November referendum, to be discussed today by a Memphis City Council committee, would ask voters to require future candidates for city office to disclose such backgrounds.

THE TITLE of chief justice of New Jersey is a fitting capstone for the extraordinary career of an extraordinary public servant, James R. Zazzali. Jim Zazzali has spent his entire professional career representing either the general public as a government lawyer or the underdog as a lawyer for working people and their trade unions.

It's best for all Canadians that the contentious and bitter battles over separation are not on the agenda this time around, and may be off it for good. For the past four decades, proponents of an independent Quebec have fought a political battle with the federalist Liberals without achieving, or putting to rest, the separatists' dream of an independent French-speaking state. Last Tuesday, Quebeckers again voted into office the Parti Quebecois, whose core purpose since its formation in 1968 has been separatism. This time, however, separatism is not a serious prospect. Nor was it the main issue in the election.

Bergen County's blue laws -- the rules that keep most of the county's stores closed on Sundays -- are being scrutinized for signs of weakness by groups that believe the time is right to repeal them. Politicians have generally considered the blue laws to be invulnerable since 1993, when county residents voted, by a wide margin, to keep them in place. But recent attacks on the laws have caused opponents to question the need for them.
