- Government and economy in spending
The large left-hand heading links the government with economy in spending. This partial reading preserves that framing alone. It does not identify a minister, quantify a saving, specify a measure or establish whether the article approves of the government’s conduct; the noisy body text has not been reliably transcribed.
Upper-left headline only. The degraded body, other columns, photograph and caption are outside this reading; no numerical or personal detail is reconstructed.

Context
Economy as a question of government
The title links saving to the government, placing restraint in spending in the public sphere. The underlying choice is how a state uses limited resources: what it maintains, what it postpones and who bears the cost. That is a political question, even when expressed through the everyday language of thrift.
A larger state with a shared financial system
After the new South Slav state formed in 1918, the former Serbian central bank’s jurisdiction expanded in 1920. Public finance was operating across a much larger territory than before the war. Discussions of government economy belonged to the work of sustaining that enlarged state and its common institutions.
Currency stability and the use of money
The dinar had stabilized by May 1925, according to the central bank’s historical chronology. A steadier currency did not remove decisions over how public money should be spent. Monetary stabilization and economy in government concerned different parts of financial order: the value of money and the purposes for which it was used.
